Reading through this thread, I notice not many people are using models from the Chinese AI labs ...

My current vibe/playing around setup is deepseek v4.1 flash with opus/sol as advisor agent, dsv4.1flash agents for self review and final review with opus/sol. I love how fast and cheap deepseek is. Using omp as harness.

Privacy policy is not great with deepseek api, but you are always just trusting their word with any hosted llm and in theory i could at least self host the models i use from deepseek.
