Agreed. But, at least as of yesterday, dsv4 was only served by deepseek. And, more importantly, that's what the "average" experience would be if you'd setup something easy like openrouter. Sure, with proper tuning and so on you can be sure you're getting the model at its best. But are you, if you just setup openrouter and go brrr? Maybe. Maybe not.

I think it's important to point out that DeepSeek was basically soft-launching their v4 model, and they weren't emphasizing it as some sort of SOTA-killer but more as proof of a potentially non-NVIDIA serving world, and as a venue for their current research approaches.

I think/hope we'll see a 4.2 that looks a lot better, same as 3.2 was quite competitive at the time it launched.
