Why V4-Pro is so close to V4-Flash (which looks great for Flash and horrible for Pro) is one of the most important questions for the trajectory of open source. If I'm right and it's distilled from Flash experts, they will dominate. If this recipe isn't scalable… good for Dario.
If DeepSeek really has spent a year on unsuccessful/non-scalable experiments due to lacking compute, while the competition was just productively distilling Claude and doing IPOs, it's kind of over at least until new hardware comes online. I really hope this didn't happen
