AI Summary

DeepSeek’s V4 Flash, which has led model leaderboards and been praised by developers, was evaluated on real‑world agent tasks. In testing by Composio, the model was run through eight different agent harnesses on 30 complex, multi‑step workflows involving live tools such as Gmail, GitHub, Slack and Google Sheets. Across 240 total runs, only 129 succeeded, meaning the model completed 53.8% of the tasks, and just six of the workflows were completed successfully by every harness. This performance gap highlights a discrepancy between benchmark rankings and practical task execution.
