DeepSeek reports that its V4 Flash 0731 model scored 82.7% on Terminal-Bench 2.1, a benchmark of long-horizon terminal and shell-agent tasks, outperforming its V4-Pro-Preview score of 72.1%. The supplied web snippets consistently repeat the 82.7% figure but attribute it to DeepSeek or label it a provider run; they do not substantiate the case’s claimed independent 445-trial Ante/Harbor public-harness run. Accordingly, reproducibility without DeepSeek’s unreleased evaluation harness remains unresolved by the supplied material.
The radar already tracks the same DeepSeek V4 Flash harness-sensitivity question in `radar:deepseek-v4-flash-harness-efficiency`, while Scott’s Model-Plus-Harness Benchmark Unit explicitly treats agent scores as properties of the disclosed model–harness combination. A verified public-harness replication would materially test that position, but the supplied grounding does not establish that the claimed 445-trial independent run occurred, so this adds no confirmed result yet.

Repeated adjacent quantization discussion has produced no timeout audit, maintainer ruling, or compliant rerun, and there is no identified near-term confirming event. The inspectable Ante result remains methodologically disputed, but this episode has faded without advancing reproducibility.
2026-08-12T15:46:20Z
The refreshed comments remain about local quantization and provide no evidence on Ante’s timeout compliance, a maintainer ruling, or a compliant independent rerun. The public Terminal-Bench result remains inspectable but methodologically disputed, and repeated adjacent discussion does not advance the case.
2026-08-12T11:39:56Z
The refreshed comments remain confined to local quantization and add nothing about Ante’s timeout compliance, a maintainer ruling, or an independent compliant rerun. The public result remains inspectable but methodologically disputed, so the case has not advanced.
2026-08-12T06:33:34Z
The refreshed quantization discussion remains unrelated to the hosted Terminal-Bench replication and supplies no timeout-policy audit, maintainer ruling, or compliant rerun. The public Ante result remains inspectable but methodologically disputed, so repeated adjacent discussion does not advance the case.
2026-08-12T04:28:45Z
The refreshed quantization discussion remains orthogonal to the hosted Terminal-Bench result and provides no timeout-policy audit, maintainer ruling, or compliant rerun. The Ante replication remains publicly inspectable but methodologically disputed, with no new reason for near-term attention.
2026-08-12T00:24:23Z
The refreshed quantization comments remain orthogonal to the hosted Terminal-Bench run and add no timeout audit, maintainer ruling, or compliant rerun. The claimed replication remains inspectable but methodologically disputed, with no reason for near-term attention.
2026-08-11T23:29:04Z
The refreshed quantization discussion adds requests for further benchmarks and implementation speculation, not evidence about the hosted Terminal-Bench run. The case remains methodologically disputed pending a timeout-policy audit, maintainer ruling, or compliant independent rerun.
2026-08-11T22:27:48Z
The quantization report identifies a separate risk for local DeepSeek V4 validation, but it neither affects the hosted OpenRouter run nor resolves Ante’s disputed timeout configuration. This case still hinges on an official configuration audit, maintainer ruling, or compliant independent rerun; the quantization issue belongs in a separate local-inference episode.
2026-08-11T22:22:27Z
evidence attached: reddit.post.1vlurlv — Independent quantization work exposes conversion bugs and baseline-weight drift that materially affects credible local DeepSeek V4 validation.
2026-08-11T17:46:23Z
The Strix Halo throughput report concerns local inference speed and does not corroborate the Terminal-Bench score, validate Ante’s timeout configuration, or provide a second replication. The case remains an inspectable but methodologically disputed run awaiting a configuration audit or maintainer ruling.

evidence attached: hn.story.49261091 — Provides independent DeepSeek V4 Flash throughput benchmark on AMD Strix Halo, supporting local inference viability and corroborating performance claims.
2026-08-10T18:39:51Z
The refreshed discussion adds no timeout audit, maintainer ruling, or independent rerun; it only recirculates the existing methodological objection. The public Ante result remains documented but cannot establish reproducibility until its timeout configuration is validated against Terminal-Bench 2.1 policy.
2026-08-09T21:34:00Z
The refreshed discussion adds no timeout audit, maintainer ruling, or independent rerun; it is repetitive amplification of the already-known methodological dispute. The public Ante result remains inspectable but cannot establish broader reproducibility until its timeout configuration is validated.
2026-08-09T20:28:51Z
The refreshed discussion only repeats the timeout-policy objection and adds no configuration audit, maintainer ruling, or independent rerun. The Ante result remains inspectable but methodologically disputed, while repeated amplification no longer warrants hourly attention.
2026-08-09T19:44:33Z
The refreshed comments add no configuration evidence or maintainer ruling, so the timeout-policy challenge remains unresolved rather than strengthened. The case still hinges on auditing Ante’s pinned timeout settings against Terminal-Bench 2.1’s official limits.
2026-08-09T18:37:51Z
The refreshed discussion adds no evidence beyond the existing timeout-policy challenge, leaving the public Ante run inspectable but methodologically unresolved. The case still turns on comparing its pinned timeout configuration with Terminal-Bench 2.1’s official limits or obtaining a maintainer ruling.
2026-08-09T16:35:42Z
The refreshed discussion does not resolve the timeout-policy challenge or add a second independent replication; the public Ante result remains inspectable but methodologically disputed pending comparison with Terminal-Bench’s official limits.
2026-08-09T15:29:01Z
A concrete methodological challenge now alleges that Ante inflated task timeouts, potentially invalidating the apparent 82.7% replication despite its public records. The case has shifted from awaiting broader replication to first requiring an audit of whether this run complied with Terminal-Bench’s official timeout policy.
2026-08-09T12:22:44Z
The refreshed comments remain repetitive amplification and add no independent rerun, alternate harness, or methodological challenge. The case still establishes one pinned public-harness replication, not broader reproducibility across implementations.
2026-08-09T10:33:24Z
The refreshed discussion adds only model enthusiasm, comparisons, and cost speculation; it supplies no new independent rerun or harness evidence. The case remains one documented public-harness replication awaiting a second independent line of reproducibility evidence.
2026-08-09T09:29:10Z
The public Harbor records establish one independent, pinned Ante replication of DeepSeek’s 82.7% result, so this is now a documented model–public-harness result rather than an unsupported claim. Additional independent harnesses or reruns are still needed to establish broader reproducibility; the latest change is only minor engagement.
