Why you can't trust cloud API endpoints: 40 days of coding-agent telemetry showing the exact day providers silently overwrote deepseek-v4.1-flash with -1017 ("faster execution, shorter answers" = 3x more swearing and 6.7x more model switches)

SummaryA Reddit post reports 40 days of coding-agent telemetry indicating that a cloud provider silently replaced DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash with a faster variant that produced shorter answers, more frequent model switching, and substantially more profanity.
Why it mattersUseful for teams relying on hosted models that need endpoint-change detection, reproducibility checks, and controls over behavioral drift.
