You could use this approach with DeepSeek as well. The innovation here is that you can generate a bunch of solutions, use a small model to pick promising candidates and then test them. Then you feed errors back to the generator model and iterate. In a way, it's sort of like a genetic algorithm that converges on a solution.

Indeed but:

1) That is relatively very slow.

2) Can also be done, simpler even, with SoTA models over API.

Why do you need a small model to pick promising candidates? Why not a bigger one?

(And ideally you'd probably test first, or at least try to feed compiler errors back etc?)

Overall, I mostly agree.
