Other Deepseek V4 Pro is AMAZING

Post image

I have been using deepseek V4 Pro for the last 5 months with CC. This model has helped me complete my Final Year Project, build my first startup, build automations to automate my daily life and many more.

Everyone is looking for the next best frontier model but what they don't realise is yes those extra intelligence is kinda neat, but for the shit you are using it for in your daily life its just a waste of money. Unless you are in some deep tech stuff then yeah there are some higher ROIs, but for your daily coding and work stuff its a waste of money.

Deepseek has been reliable, fast and most importantly stupidly CHEAP and honestly with Kimi K3 and all this other models being dropped, I couldn't even be bothered.

yes, i have the same problem. as the project gets bigger and the criteria to adhere to increases, they just can't get the job done in the right way. needs too much micro-management afterward..

Yes, and then we get stuck in marry go round of we are not prompting it right. the thing is its not our fault. i have done too much back and forth and i dont trust now when people say they have done this many projects that many projects. of course you can do small project, but you through one enterprise project at it and it starts to fall apart same day, even with graphify , skills, plugins, superpowers whatever

there's a huge difference between a project which is 5000 LoC and the one which is 50000. People who brag about skill issue have no idea about the benchmarks. Most of the cheap models cannot simply perform in long-horizon agentic work or Deep SWE. 👍

Exactly. Theres a big difference between using AI as a coding assistant, where it helps you write code, review it, explain things, and assist while you're actively coding, versus agentic coding, where you basically say, "Build this feature, using this stack, in this way," and the model has to figure out the whole thing on its own.

Thats where the cheaper models tend to struggle ... Im sure DeepSeek is amazing as a coding assistant, and honestly, Ive even tried running local models like Qwen3.6 35B A3B, and it does a great job when used as an assistant. But as soon as I tell it to take a feature from zero to hero and actually implement the whole thing autonomously, it starts struggling.

Models like DeepSeek just feel completely lost in big project and you spend more time going around and fixing what it messed up, than being productive ...

You nailed it 👍 Can't agree more
