DeepSeek

“it beats frontier model on speed and cost keeping good enough code quality.”

“I am using DeepSeek directly via the API. The speed is insane.”

“spent time looking at billions of tokens from DeepSeek (and other open models) in our coding agent.”

“Deepseek V4 Flash is suprisingly capable and insanely cheap.”

“A handful of honest participants like DeepSeek are pay as you go instead of trying to sneakily bill you for usage.”

“And deepseek v4 flash (the sonnet comparable) costs 3% of what sonnet does.”

“models with cheap long context (Gemini, DeepSeek) are winning the race”

“I used DeepSeek-v3.2 to solve two coding problems by pasting code and directions as one large prompt into a chat interface and it performed very well.”
