This reminds me of those pareto-style speedrun record charts when a new glitch is discovered.

When I see dramatic leaps like this, it tells me that the important hacks haven't yet been discovered.

it's great but we need a multi-modal model of this quality and price to truly declare victory.

But it makes me quite curious, how a text-only model can do so well on ARC-AGI-2 being a set of visual puzzles? It would have to solve it entirely using text-only spatial reasoning about the grid (or maybe writing code?). I am curious if this is normal or do other models use their vision capabilities to solve the puzzles?

That page needs a Pareto frontier display. But wow, it absolutely demolishes.

It's crazy to think V4 Pro still hasn't finished the post processing.

It's always fun when Max reasoning is cheaper than High reasoning.

wow. i remember when GPT-5.2 (medium) was everyone's favorite.

ARC-AGI II:

- GPT-5.2 (medium) %26.7 ($0.759)

- DSV4-Flash (max) %61.4 ($0.04)

Perhaps it might be interesting: a latent thinking version is here https://huggingface.co/nmitchko/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731-Laten...

Does no thinking emissions for context saving.

I’ve been refreshing hacker news constantly for a week now waiting for v4 pro, after they stated it would follow «soon». I have learnt «soon» is a matter of definition.

Looking at the caching price of deepseek compared to its competitors, does it have a secret sauce or is it just subsidizing?

Note they double the price if you use during peak time. However, they define peak time with respect to China, not Europe or the USA...so if you are out of Asia, I guess Australians might be impacted, and its still cheap anyways.
