MiniMax M3.1 Flash vs. DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017: cheaper tokens, higher bill
Both list at $0.15/$0.60 per million tokens, and MiniMax wins the business-workflow benchmarks. But on vals.ai's Vibe Code Bench v1.1, DeepSeek's October 17 checkpoint scores 87.73% at $0.58 per test while M3.1 Flash scores 73.94% at $1.15 — because the cheaper token burns 66.86M of them per task. Here is the independent evidence and the cache-aware math.

GLM 5.3 Flash vs. DeepSeek V4.1 Flash: which is better at agentic coding?
Both labs ship a million-token context, MIT weights, and a ~$0.15-per-million price tag. On the independent harnesses that have actually run both models — vals.ai's Vibe Code Bench and Terminal-Bench 2.1, BenchLM's Vibe Code Bench 1-100, and Artificial Analysis' v4.3 index — DeepSeek V4.1 Flash wins agentic coding, and by a wider margin than either vendor's own table suggests.

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash: Opus 5-tier agentic coding at 1/33 the price
DeepSeek's new ~748B-parameter Flash model (552B backbone + 196B Engram memory) retires V4 Pro, ships native vision, and — on DeepSeek's own max-effort numbers — edges Claude Opus 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol on Terminal-Bench 2.1 and DeepSWE v1.1 while costing $0.15/$0.60 per million tokens. Full benchmark table, pricing math, and where the closed frontier still wins.
