So, are they planning to announce an optimized coding agent harness as well ? DSv4 flash is a fantastic model, and my daily driver. With reasonix or pi, I can code all day long and pay a few pennies for it. No token anxiety. Whereas the same model with fireworks/openrouter, with zdr thrown in, token costs ratchet up with no explanation. Likely that the model is subsidized for gathering usage data. I am waiting for the day I can run this locally.
If you're not paying for the model through Open router, then which provider are you buying it from? I thought that if that provider was listed on open router it would be the same price as going directly to the provider? Are you buying from a provider that isn't listed on open router already?
> Are you buying from a provider that isn't listed on open router already
I am using openrouter with zdr guardrail which routes to any provider that supposedly doesnt train on user data. I also use fireworks (directly, not via openrouter) which is a provider promising zdr and has a bunch of open weights models. My issue is that these zdr providers dont transparently disclose caching/tokens etc and so they end up being far more expensive than directly using DS.
Have you tried Novita? They're zdr and I find they usually have better cache hit rates than fireworks. No affiliation.
Thanks for the input. Let me check it out.
They announced it already, read the tech report.

I meant something I could download and run.
Isn't Reasonix [0] DeepSeek's own harness? Or, are they building a new one?

DS were hiring harness Eng team on x a while ago.
