The V3/R1 time and now are in such contrast. V3/R1 were hyped hard and barely usable for coding. V4 is much less hyped but (anecdotally) it has completely demolished all the Flash/Lite/Spark models.

Huh? R1 was one of the earliest openly available MoE and reasoning models, that's definitely not "hype". People tried to do reasoning before by asking the model to "think it through step by step" but that was a hack. The later V3.1 and V3.2 releases AIUI unified reasoning/non-reasoning use under a single model.
