How is it a 'feudal lord'? These are local models.

An API is a local model? https://api-docs.deepseek.com/quick_start/pricing "(3) The deepseek-v4-pro model API pricing will be officially adjusted to 1/4 of the original price after the 75% discount promotion ends on 2026/05/31 15:59 UTC."

This looks suspiciously cheap. The same model hosted by other providers is much more expensive [0]. So either DeepSeek can host it much cheaper than anyone else, or their business model is different. I suspect the latter, especially since their privacy policy [1] says personal data, including “User Input,” can be used "To improve and develop the Services and to train and improve our technology" .

Probably a dumb question, but looking at OpenRouter, are there really no providers outside of the US, Singapore and China offering DeepSeek? It seems like such an obvious thing for a European or other Western provider to offer. I'm sure it's a quantum leap ahead of Mistral. I'd love to give these models a try, but I'd rather not use a provider that trains on or stores my data (beyond standard legal requirements of co…

In case anyone finds this post and was still looking - it seems like Inceptron are a Swedish company with data centers in Finland that offer inference of Chinese models (Kimi K2.6, GLM 5.1, MiniMax M2.5), but they don't yet offer DeepSeek V4. Also their models all appear to be quantized, so presumably not the same as inference direct from the model providers.

What? How is someone born in 1947 relevant to ip theft in the 19th century?

Because USAs military literally stole his IP? He had patents for GPS systems that US military took (by making his very expensive US lawyer making a silly ”mistake” and oops he lost against US companies and they suggested ”let’s forget about the money if you just hand us over that patent that the US military wants”

What's the image trying to convey? Genuine question, I just come here to read nerd stuff and I'm not aware of any controversy

The image shows Garry Tan, the CEO of Y Combinator. He has lately been on a huge AI psychosis streak, bragging about things like "shipping 37000 lines of code every day" and "using Claude Code so much it burned out his USB-C power connectors". He's in a lobster suit because he's talking about OpenClaw, an AI agent assistant which those same AI psychosis types lean into too much by giving it full read-write access to…

Thank you for the explanation!

I'm more curious about the caching: > (2) For all models, the input cache hit price has been reduced to 1/10 of the launch price. This price adjustment takes effect from 2026/4/26 12:15 UTC. There is no end date. Currently, it's 2% of the input price for DeepSeek V4 Flash and 0.8% with this new V4 Pro pricing, which is extremely low compared to competitors to the point that it affects the unit economics a bit and I t…
