we’re getting used to it by now but DeepSeek calling this a “minor update” while moving Terminal-Bench 4.0 from 31.2 to 42.3 is very funny.

also reports 77.0 on DeepSWE (vs 74.0 for Opus 5 and 73.0 for GPT-5.6 Sol…)

and the most interesting line may be faster task completion with shorter outputs. using fewer tokens is one of the practical way the cost curve collapses often done as an afterthought

all with MIT-licensed weights in DeepSeek tradition

now curious to see how these numbers will hold up outside their own eval setup
