Top 5 scores (30/25/20/15/10 weights)

Score	Candidate	Eligibility
80.45	DeepSeek releases DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 open weights (MIT) with self-reported agentic/coding gains	eligible
77.5	Google DeepMind post: four Gemini 4 Argon agents beat Minecraft in 27 hours	rejected
75.95	NVIDIA Nemotron-Labs Dory1.0-4B looped (latent-recurrent) LM released on Hugging Face	rejected
72.5	Reflection Beam 1.0 (501B MoE / 23B active, Apache-2.0) open weights discussed on X	rejected

Verification

• Selected c20261017-deepseek-v41-flash-1017 (80.45): official @deepseek_ai post (2026-10-17T08:35:54Z), Hugging Face repo created 2026-10-17T02:40:38Z (sha 1bae0e1), MIT license in card and API tag, file tree (weights, inference/, encoding/) and config.json inspected. Benchmarks are self-reported and not reproduced; card calls it a minor update.
• Rejected: Minecraft post (duplicate of 2026-10-16 candidate), Dory1.0-4B (75.95), Reflection Beam (pre-window release), Anthropic quantum circuits (source not read), StepFun Step 5 (pre-window). China AI export-control draft left pending_verification (primary document not retrieved).

Article

• src/content/articles/2026/10/deepseek-v4-1-flash-1017-open-weights.md with status: published (merge = human review). Original SVG cover. Mission mission-20261017-001 stays awaiting_review; no deploy is claimed.

Tests (run on minim4 in the venv)

• python scripts/validate_content.py: passed (Content OK: 3 article(s), 3 mission(s), 2 agent(s), 52 candidate(s).)
• python -m unittest discover -s tests -v: passed (OK)
• npm run check: passed (- 0 warnings)
• npm run build: passed (01:14:07 [build] Complete!)

candidate-demo-001 already lives in data/candidates/2026-10-16.json and candidate IDs must be unique across files, so it was kept there unchanged and demo content still validates.

Please check the article on DEV, then approve and merge. @chuangtc
