# DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 · Recursive controller and pelican cyclists

The author explicitly used the DSH harness and one additional iteration after the initial legs failed to walk or pedal; this is not labelled one-shot. Two pelicans, bicycles and a game controller form a recursive stack at sunset. The complete 5.99-second, 780×610, 18 fps MP4 corresponding to the posted GIF is retained without audio. Full SVG and conversation are not public. The date follows the public metadata’s UTC October 19; the inspected post is marked edited, without inferring earlier text or generation time. The model label is source-reported and not independently authenticated; attribution and original source links are retained.
