DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Shows OpenCode Go Variance
Developers report inconsistent speed when running DeepSeek V4.1 Flash through OpenCode Go, with latency and token throughput varying sharply between requests. Independent comparisons suggest the Go gateway, rather than the model or client, is the likely bottleneck.
OpenCode Go’s low-cost access is attractive, but unstable latency undermines it for long agentic coding sessions.
- –Reported median throughput fell from roughly 254 tokens per second at launch to 119 in later testing.
- –Peer routes using the same model reached about 177–194 tokens per second.
- –Long-context requests show especially high first-token latency and occasional multi-second stalls.
- –Developers cannot reliably fix the issue with client settings; routing, capacity, or regional serving likely needs attention.
- –For latency-sensitive workloads, direct DeepSeek API access may currently be the safer option.
