DS V4 Flash in play
Where it shines, and where it slips.
Strengths
- Speed: Replies in about 6 seconds, because LoreWeaver runs it without a thinking pass.
- Long stories: Gets the most context LoreWeaver offers, 100K on Legendary.
- Pacing: Pacing and dialogue are its best areas on EQ-Bench’s creative writing test.
Drawbacks
- Following direction: Some players report it speaking for their character or slipping point of view mid-scene.
- Long stories: Its quality fell off more than any DeepSeek’s across an eight-chapter story test.
- Narration: Repeats sensory details, and plots can stall unless you push them.
Plans and context
What each plan gives DS V4 Flash.
It is included from Plus at $7.99 a month, and free accounts can play it with their 25 premium replies a day.
Context is how much the storyteller reads before it writes: the latest scenes, plus the memories, recap, and lore cards the moment needs. Bigger plans give a model more of it, which helps most in long campaigns.
| Plan | Context | Price a month |
|---|---|---|
| Plus | 16K tokens | $7.99 |
| Pro | 32K tokens | $14.99 |
| Ultra | 64K tokens | $24.99 |
| Legendary | 100K tokens | $49.99 |

How public boards rank DS V4 Flash.
None of these boards tests roleplay, so the guide reads them beside its own notes from real stories rather than in their place.
A high rank on long stories tends to mean fewer slips late in a campaign; a high arena rank means people liked its prose in a blind vote.
| Board | Rank | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| EQ-Bench Creative Writing | 55 of 140 | Short stories from 32 prompts, compared in pairs by an AI judge (Claude Sonnet 4.6). |
| EQ-Bench Longform | 55 of 140 | A planned story eight chapters long, judged chapter by chapter and as a whole. A model that fades late loses ground. |
| Arena Creative Writing | 95 of 414 | Blind votes from people choosing the better of two answers to the same creative prompt. |
