User reports DeepSeek V4.1 Flash identifies itself as Claude
A user says the interface showed DeepSeek V4.1 Flash-1017 but the model claimed to be an Anthropic Claude model, and it outperformed GPT-6.1 Sol and Sonnet 5.5 on some tasks, raising questions about backend routing.

🚨 DEEPSEEK HAS BEEN DELISTED FROM ANTHROPIC? «I asked the model which model was running It claimed to be an Anthropic Claude model But the interface still showed DeepSeek V4.1 Flash-1017 I suspected something was off a few hours ago — the output quality felt way too different In my testing, it was outperforming GPT-6.1 Sol and Sonnet 5.5 on some tasks» «Try asking your model which one it is 😂l» IS THE BACKEND ROUTING CHANGING, OR IS SOMETHING ELSE GOING ON?
