Prompt

Voxel world on one Mac Studio, local Flash modelsThe post doesn’t quote the prompt wording.

Author’s verdict
The author likes the DeepSeek world much better, even though Qwen decodes about 2.4 times faster.

@niklaslenz_ai’s view (paraphrased)

Qwen 3.8 Flash Next (top) and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 (bottom) run locally on one 256 GB Mac Studio with the same voxel-world prompt, each in its maker’s own coding agent, thinking on, one try.
