DEEPSEEK DROPPED V4.1-FLASH-1017 YESTERDAY. IT BEATS CLAUDE OPUS 5.5 AND GPT 5.6 ON CODING, COSTS $0.24 PER MILLION TOKENS AND RUNS REA FOR F*CKING FREE. 77.0 on DeepSWE. 1M context. 16B active parameters. Every REA power user is switching tonight. What dropped. → DeepSWE 77.0. Claude Opus 5.5 sits at 74.0. GPT 5.6-Sol at 73.0. → Automation-Bench 60.5. Opus 5.5 gets 50.3. → 1M tokens of context and 384K tokens of output. → 552B parameters, only 16B awake per token. → $0.078 in and $0.24 out per million tokens on DeepInfra. → Free inside OpenCode right now. Why REA people lost their minds. REA packs 170 tools, 127 CLI commands and 37 skills into one MCP. One deep run eats millions of tokens of raw evidence. On a frontier model that's a $50 night. On Flash-1017 it's 35 cents. The split. → DeepSeek Flash-1017 grinds the evidence 24/7 for pennies. → Opus 5.5 takes the finished map and builds the clean version. → You pay frontier prices only for the 10% that needs a frontier brain. The $0 setup going around. → Install OpenCode. → Pick DeepSeek V4.1 Flash. → Connect REA. → Point it at your own app and walk away. One dev already handed 2 full reverse-engineering projects to it this week. What people are building with it. → Full security audits of their own sites in minutes instead of days. → Privacy scanners that catch SDKs leaking data out of their apps. → Legacy migrations nobody dared to touch for 10 years. DeepSeek also opened Search and Fetch APIs, free inside Claude Code until November 1. China shipped a model that out-codes Opus 5.5 for the price of a gumball. Anthropic and OpenAI have a problem.
