Its attention is within the normal range across the monitored sources. Its last hype episode in the 30-day window ran from Oct 13 to Oct 20 (peak 59 on Oct 16). In the news: [Deepseek 4.1 Flash 1017 is the highest ranking open weights model on FrontierCode 2.0, a private benchmark. Its ahead of Kimi K3.1 Pro, & Gemini Argon](https://www.reddit.com/r/DeepSeek/comments/1xhpy23/) — Reddit · Oct 28 First seen on Reddit · Oct 15 — the first monitored source to go above normal for it in the last 14 days. Why this stage: within the normal range across monitored sources. **Data note:** 7 of the last 14 days were not collected live. No collection ran on Oct 22–Oct 28, or a later run refilled those days at once. Every hype score is measured against the 14 days before it and those days are thin, so the scores, the stages and the week-over-week theme trends may read higher than they are until they leave that window on Nov 12. - **Stage:** 💤 Quiet — within the normal range across the monitored sources - **Hype score:** 10.3 / 100 · +8.8 in 1 day · −9.6 in 7 days - **In hype since:** not in hype now - **Peak, 30 days:** 59.3 on Oct 16, 2026 - **Category:** 🧠 Models - **Sources above normal:** 1 of 18 scoring it (1 independent family) - **Stories in 7 days:** 8 - **Share of voice:** 0.1% of the radar’s attention in 7 days ## Where the attention comes from “Normal” is the median of the source’s previous 14 normal days for this topic. A source is above normal when its value is at least 30% over that level and stands out from its usual day-to-day variation (z ≥ 2); the share is the part of the hype score that source explains. “× normal” is left blank when the normal level is 0. | Source | Metric | Latest | Normal | × normal | Above normal | Share of score | |---|---|---:|---:|---:|---|---:| | Reddit | posts | 5 | 1 | 3× | yes | 85% | | Google Trends (search interest) | search interest | 4.7 | 3.1 | 1.4× | no | 15% | | arXiv (cs.CL / cs.AI / cs.LG) | papers | 0 (Oct 28) | 0 | — | no | 0% | | Developer forums (Cursor, OpenAI, Hugging Face) | items | 0 | 0 | — | no | 0% | | DEV Community (dev.to) | items | 0 | 0 | — | no | 0% | | Hugging Face Daily Papers | items | 0 | 0 | — | no | 0% | | HN: front-page time (ClickHouse) | frontpage hours | 0 | 0 | — | no | 0% | | Lobste.rs | items | 0 | 0 | — | no | 0% | ## Stories behind it 1.
