For non-coding tasks it may be fine. But for coding, Opus 5.5 is just a completely another level than something like Deepseek 4.1 Flash.
Opus 5.5: TIME 9.3m COST / $1.99 / SCORE 99/100 https://jonclegg.github.io/pacman-bakeoff/#claude-opus-5-5
Deepseek 4.1 Flash: TIME 2.8m / COST $1.89 / SCORE 72/100 https://jonclegg.github.io/pacman-bakeoff/dev/#deepseek-v4.1...
Downvoted for facts. What is this Reddit?
I guess what we're seeing is selection bias - people clicking on this HN story will be those who are interested in DeepSeek. And those people who are invested in DeepSeek may not like the facts that you presented.
It's annoying that social networks work this way. The upvote should be for high-quality content and the downvote should be for low-quality content. But .. well.. human nature and tribal dynamics always seem to win.
Everyone here is so unhinged.
