> I mean the AI companies probably just want to make American model pricing look ridiculous in comparison (it's working imo) I really don't think China cares about that. Chinese government's governance logic is making everything so cheap that everyone can get and use it. They did it with EVs and other things. Now they are doing it with the AI.

They do want to see the American bubble burst, this is the quickest way

with all the price increases in everything else, i think we are all tired of this bubble to be honest...

DeepSeek Flash on high (not max) is a freak of nature indeed. Very disproportionate intelligence-to-cost ratio. I'm leveraging this temporary anomaly and using it as my coding workhorse.

The weights are open and when prices settle down again will be runnable with less than 10k of hardware. I can easily run it in a 8 bit quant with the 4 x 48GB Radeon Pro W7900 GPUs I snagged for 2k each before the memory squeeze. A 158B parameter model, especially in an architecture as efficient as DS4 is not that hard to drive currently if you got in before the craze, and will be relatively easy to drive with future…

Doesn't DeepSeek-V4-Flash have 284B parameters?

So exactly same as deepseek 4 api pricing

Is this deepseek v4 api pricing for May (at 75% off - offer supposedly end June 1)? Or the non-discounted api pricing?

Deepseek made the discounted price permanent before this.

You can use Codex as an orchestrator and claude code via mimo/deepseek api as executor. I've read this a lot before but when you really try it, it is really something in the way you can stretch your credits.

Since the 3rd party providers on openrouter have all converged on much higher prices in serving these models (both mimo and dsv4), there's obviously a question on how/why are they lowering the prices so much. It's possible they've finally integrated cheap(er) chinese chips. It's also possible they're just subsidising inference for real-world usage data. Interesting either way.

The price cut is 50%.

Can you explain any further?

Well done. Unicode wins again. 𓂺

OK. Google was just killed. How is it possible to reduce the price by 99%??????? This is crazy

I've read on X that deepseek api can stay alive for hours vs 5 minutes tops for other providers. they do it with ram and ssd, not only vram.

You are correct.
