Empirically, DS4 is hosting the DeepSeek v4 Flash model with good performance on home hardware. I'm curious how you came to this conclusion.

Not even close. "I made this DSP task faster by focusing on exactly one compute graph on one machine instead of a compute graph compiler that runs on every possible machine" is a real engineering approach, and the AI usage is incidental. Things like Gas Town are self-serving turboslop whose only purpose is to generate more slop.

Nope.
