While I agree, this particular discussion chain really frustrates me.

1. "This Flash model is really smart. Here is an article to discuss how smart it is. Why aren't people freaking out about how smart this Flash model is?"

2. "I tried using it for a smart thing. It doesn't work so well for it."

3. "You should know better than to use Flash for smart things. It's not meant for smart things."

It's important to move the discussion past this model is smarter. The flash version is great at implementing a plan but because it makes trade-offs for increased speed it doesn't take the time to think through everything. Some models are great at making a plan but can't follow through.

DeepSeek themselves said 4.1 Flash is better than their current Pro version.
