Hot take:

Even today, the best combo in AI is still

Deepseek v4.1 flash ➕ Claude Code

Like a $10 KFC meal deal in the US

That’s right—high-end, affordable, and great value for money

After using Deepseek harness, opencode, and Hermes for a while, Claude Code ➕ Deepseek is still the best. It can take Deepseek v4.1 flash from high-school level to graduate-school level 🤜
