So DeepSeek v4 will cost 2x between 9:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 18:00, Beijing Time. This is UTC+8 so to get cheaper DeepSeek: - in London (BST / UTC+1): 11:00 to 02:00, and 05:00 to 07:00. - in NY (EDT / UTC-4): 06:00 to 21:00, and 00:00 to 02:00. - in California (PDT / UTC-7): 03:00 to 18:00, and 21:00 to 23:00. Subscription plans like OpenCode Go might not even pass down this 2x cost since most customers are EU/US.

> in California (PDT / UTC-7): 03:00 to 18:00, and 21:00 to 23:00. I think that’s incorrect. For California (PDT), 2X pricing will be in effect from 6–9pm and 11pm–3am. During PST, the CA windows will be 5–8pm and 10pm–2am.

> 2X pricing will be in effect from 6–9pm and 11pm–3am

that's why cheaper price is 03-18 and 21-23, aka 3am-6pm,9pm-11pm

Yall trust LLM providers sweeping up keys and passwords? Sometimes you have a little .env file or config files in your repos that are not checked in... LLMs like to read that stuff and send it in. I don't trust any of the LLM providers, but less so the ones seated in China.

That math makes no sense

Perhaps you read those western times as being the more expensive time windows? They are the cheaper times. I know it can be confusing.

But please let me know where my math is wrong.

Yes, never trust the perfidious chinamen or their evil LLMs. They are on another level of evil than our glorious and noble western LLMs that are used to bomb schools.
