DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 achieves an intelligence score of 50, nearly matching the top frontier models' score of 51 from March 2026, despite being runnable on <8K USD hardware. This suggests locally executable models now rival the performance of cutting-edge models from just 5 months prior. The model can operate on 128GB DDR4 combined with 4x NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti GPUs. If benchmarks are accurate, this represents a significant leap in accessible AI capability.
