Researcher Will DePue Defends Nvidia Blackwell Forensics, Says DeepSeek V4.1 Chip Remains Unknown

Researcher Will DePue stated that a search of 4.3 billion random seeds across GPU layouts returned zero matches on DeepSeek's September V4.1-Flash release. DePue argued that returning zero matches across more than 6 trillion combinations proves the technique does not produce false Blackwell hits by chance. His forensic method matched the exact disclosed training hardware across all 24 open-weights models where developers stated what chips they used.
