Current VersionJul 08, 2026 at 02:19

I just tested the deepseek.com API again at 11:21pm New York time, and now it's chugging along at 254 tokens per second. At that rate, the API is producing 1 million tokens in just over an hour. 1 million tokens per hour get lots of software written, and lots of tasks completed. At that rate you don't need a genius LLM. This hard working, inexpensive model has plenty of intelligence, and is able to get requests completed because it iterates relentlessly through planning, research, build, and test loops, at a speed that other smart enough models can't match.
