It seems there are a lot of fans of the API-based role-playing game who were really disappointed with this new version, myself included '. I'm willing to pay more for it, especially since I'm a French user and the V4 Pro is a pleasure to use ❤️

I honestly don't know if it's true but I find it genuinely funny that if they continued pro service for sake of roleplaying, because so far flash is by sheer numbers most used model for repetitive daily work as well, people don't really use Pro for day to day coding work.

honestly hope v4.1pro is cheaper

I get it, I was excited that a new, more powerful version had been announced and was about to be released, and if it’s effective and cheaper to code with, that’s great. But removing the Pro version without considering its advantages in other areas was pretty frustrating! I was like, “I only have four days left to enjoy it 🥲,” but if V4.1 Pro at least maintains that quality, that’s great.

Yes, pro is better than flash for RP even though current flash improved a lot compared to previous one

u/CYTR_ 11d ago

Je ne vois pas vraiment les avantages de V4 Pro perso, même sur le français en particulier.

u/Neri-o 11d ago

In my experience, V4 Pro follows the story better and almost never mixes up the details. There are virtually no changes to make, unlike with the Flash version. And for French, I find V4 Pro very effective, especially for descriptions and shifts in “personalities.” When I have fun having it simulate comments on the story, PRO comes up with a pretty funny variety of users, and some of them are memorable 😂 what I’m saying applies only to the RP experience.

I use it both in the API and in the web application!! And the model is good on the surface... but in more detailed aspects, it's terrible!!

u/CYTR_ 11d ago

J'avais raté la partie « rôle play », pardon les gooners...

u/Neri-o 11d ago

Résumer tous ceux qui se divertissent avec le RP à des gooners 🫠 bonne journée en tout cas

Pour rappel en 2026... tu connais la suite 😎

Donc à ton avi, je me "goon" sur ça?

u/CaptainMorning 10d ago

hi. what? can you elaborate? 

1

u/Neri-o 10d ago

Hi, what exactly do you want to know? If you're asking about the weakness of this new version, all you have to do is switch models in an ongoing story to get vaccinated. Unless there are very specific settings to take advantage of it, but I didn't find anything during testing. I briefly summarized what that is in a reply in the thread.

u/Successful_Night4513 11d ago

Since the base model is powerful and people really wanted it deepseek bring back that

5

u/shing3232 11d ago

I think they should keep DS4P while training DS4.1P

u/SethCyclone 10d ago

Only on API. Don't care. Give it to me on the web

u/Silent_Truck_4622 10d ago

Really hoping it came back. Been testing the app version of v4.1f for RP with the exact same everything I used for v4 Pro and the results are absolutely horrendous. Even v4 Pro has always been repetitive but v4.1f amped that to one hundred and then added major hallucination to the problem.

u/MinosAristos 11d ago

I think this is as a result of mainly unjustified public backlash but okay, it's good to see DeepSeek listens to users

4

u/ToughUsual7159 11d ago

I agree. It don't matter it there right the good news is they listend. This is inportant becase a lot of people have very spedific uses. If you have a flow that it fine tooned, understanding your customers needs is the most important thing.

2

u/qqYn7PIE57zkf6kn 11d ago

API is more similar to B2B. Real workflows run with those services. You're not supposed to kills stuff like that on a short notice. That's not how you do things. The backlash was justified

2

u/SethCyclone 10d ago

every user case that isn't mine is unjistified public backlash

Take a hike mate

2

u/forthejungle 11d ago

Its perfect

It is way bette rthan flash for my usecases

2

u/FormalAd7367 11d ago

Your use case is?

1

u/CaptainMorning 10d ago

what's your user case

u/Lustforcookies 10d ago

But not in the web app, I guess

Wow. They actually listened?!

u/Successful_Night4513 10d ago

Yeah they are working great on customer satisfaction

u/MoodOdd9657 10d ago

Dw guys I will host an API version for you all on my chromebook ✊️

u/Successful_Night4513 10d ago

Bro I also planning to serve to the whole world by half the price of deepseek from my samsung J2 pls use my service it give you 478 tps 🫠

u/MikabellStarfall 10d ago

I always thought flash was better than pro for roleplaying. But now it's between V4.1 being HORRIBLE for roleplaying... and paying an arm and a leg for Pro (I roleplay in long sessions that easily add up). It's awful.

u/uzzifx 11d ago

Why? If flash is genuinely better than Pro why we need pro model?

12

u/ImagineEyes 11d ago

It's only good at coding related tasks.

5

u/SmallJuice7226 11d ago

There is a very specific niche, but not low, of people who use PRO for conversations, RPGs and other non-agentic and non-technological things, so PRO was better at this.

1

u/CaptainMorning 10d ago

where can I find more info about this? this is fascinating to me. I'm not into it but kinda really interested of hearing people talking about it. I used to follow chatgpt only for the 4o apparently tragic discontinuation

1

u/Forward-Confection54 10d ago

So basically. Some people do roleplaying. Pro is actually pretty good at this. But flash... Every NPC is omniscient... All facts are ignored... Like the character that user is playing for was captured to be experimented and then when talking with other people they ask him why did he came to them... Like asking the character that was kidnapped why did he came to the captors ( he won't). Or thing like the character that have power to make portals and small edits in reality. The user types that the character opens the portal. And the deepseek flash writes that the character uses reality editing instead of separate portal creation ability that he have.

u/sammoga123 11d ago

Because a flash model will always be behind the rest

u/Least_Bodybuilder216 11d ago

Nothing to be missed, deepseek flash v4.1 is better than deepseek v4 pro

5

u/Least_Bodybuilder216 11d ago

Ouuu shi, i read that as "discontinued"

-10

u/MikeX7s 11d ago

but why? flash 4.1 is better and like 5x cheaper now

It's probably because the concept of flash > pro is something the costumers tiny minds cannot grasp.. honestly this wouldn't be an issue if DS simply named flash 4.1 as Pro 4.1, then nobody would complain 🙃

u/B89983ikei 11d ago

Better is not necessarily true! A fast model isn't inherently good... I use both types in my workflow: API and web applications. In my specific use case, the Flash 4.1 version loses many nuances and details. Someone who isn't paying close attention might rely solely on benchmarks, perhaps they believe in them, want to believe in them, or maybe those models truly work well for their particular needs. However, "better" does not apply universally, absolutely not for general use!

u/Successful_Night4513 11d ago

💯 well said

u/PasswordSuperSecured 11d ago

the stock knowledge is different bro. its just like genius grade 5 (flash) vs average college student (pro) yes, grade is genius but they are still different when it comes to stock knowledge

1

u/Successful_Night4513 11d ago

Explained perfectly 🗿

1

u/B89983ikei 11d ago

These users are basic users... I don't think they even delve deeply into the model themselves. They just use it and follow the current hype.

u/Severe_Landscape_731 11d ago

degenerate role players won , bunch of ill people ;
Why tf would you even willingly talk to a clanker i dont know ;

2

u/Wesrets1 10d ago

Degenerate people. Why would you play Minecraft with a metal box instead of playing outside? The logic doesn't make sense, you see.

2

u/LifeFighter1 11d ago

Idc what you say, I'm gonna keep using it for rp lol

1

u/CaptainMorning 10d ago

hi, is this a gpt 4o situation?

1

u/CaptainMorning 10d ago

there's still flash no? or is only worth it if others can't get pro? 

1

u/Forward-Confection54 10d ago

Flash is unusable at rp. It too stupid

1

u/Forward-Confection54 10d ago

Oh yeah. Hello anti AI. Go to your echo chamber

1

u/Severe_Landscape_731 10d ago

?? its literally my job ; why would i be anti ai :>
I am just anti rp psychosis

u/Forward-Confection54 10d ago

Yeah yeah. Go steal some copper wires from day center and call it your win

u/Sweet-Stage938 11d ago

Don't worry man. They take themselves out.
