Empirically, DS4 is hosting the DeepSeek v4 Flash model with good performance on home hardware. I'm curious how you came to this conclusion.

"Empirically", have you tested this yourself?

It's trivial to find reviews and benchmarks of DS4 online. Also, there are benchmarks in the article.

Bizarre comment; sounds like "How do you know Porsches are fast? Did you drive one?"

Parent is simply pointing out the incorrect usage of "empirically", which should typically only be mentioned when you've tested it yourself.

I'm having trouble finding dictionaries or other references that add the qualifier that it needs to be self-tested and not relying on the research of others. Can you point me to one?

[dakolli]

I don't think comments on the internet count as "empirical" evidence, but sure.

Not even close. "I made this DSP task faster by focusing on exactly one compute graph on one machine instead of a compute graph compiler that runs on every possible machine" is a real engineering approach, and the AI usage is incidental. Things like Gas Town are self-serving turboslop whose only purpose is to generate more slop.

Nope.
