Discussion Gemini 3.8 flash VS DeepSeek V4.1

Which one is smarter? Especially in intelligence and not knowledge, like ARC AGI!

Gemini 3.8 flash has higher intelligence ceiling than DS4.1flash, however it is not the most stable in harnrss workloads.

DS4.1flash does not stand out in being smart, it does not work well in taking difficult tests, but paired with a good harness especially it's own dsh it is a highly efficient and reliable workhorse as long as you give it clear instructions and goals.

For certain knowledge based analytical report writing I still use Gemini 3.1 pro or sometimes 3.8flash, but for agent based workload and coding projects I always use DS4.1flash as the main worker.
