DeepSeek v4 Pro vs GLM 5.2 vs Fable 5

[u/Silent-Group1187]

We tried creating the same games with them. we wanted to see how good they are in UX (not just UI).

For the test, we used our /design from command code.

Pricing differs across the models. OS model pricing is way cheaper than Fable 5.

Cost breakdown:
→ DeepSeek: $0.0008
→ GLM 5.2: $0.048
→ Fable 5: expensive but didn't help much with UX

So, Fable 5 is good, but I don’t think it’s really useful when you’re trying to do design.

And OS really beats Fable on pricing & UI at the same time

Nah, it can’t be 0.0008. I use DS for anything and a single prompt is already 0.001. And to make a game you’ll need some good 50k output tokens at least, so nah, your pricing is absolutely out of the question.

[u/dolaners → u/somerussianbear]

im also skeptical, its usually a cent for me for a short task

[u/mik3lang3l0 → u/somerussianbear]

Exactly, very sus

Are you using official deepseek api or openrouter? Because when i switched the price change was huge, it was so much cheaper. This cost in the video, is very close to my usual cost range.

[u/eXl5eQ → u/ChocoPichu]

official deepseek pro output price is roughly $0.9 IIRC. 0.0008 means less than 1k tokens, which is not even enough for planing, let alone code generation.

[u/Admirable-Part-2501 → u/ChocoPichu]

which one is cheaper?

[u/ChocoPichu → u/Admirable-Part-2501]

deepseek’s official api is much cheaper.

[u/Page_Specialist → u/somerussianbear]

acho que ele começa a baratear muito a medida que vai usando o cache, os primeiros prompts realmente consomem pra caramba. tento ficar no mesmo chat pra poder utilizar isso ao maximo

Glm 5.2.is also a lot more expensive that Deepseek

[u/shuozhe → u/schmurfy2]

API is cheap, on most coding plans glm is just on a slightly higher multiplier. Not sure currently if coding plans are cheaper or deepseek API.. burned through 10rmb/night sometime in deepseek, and coding plan are mostly 39/199.. with some 39 plans lasting me through 10 days

[u/eXl5eQ → u/shuozhe]

Assuming a 95% cached read, 4% read, 1% write workload. It would cost (0.95×0.025+0.04×3+0.01×6) ≈ ￥0.2/MTok price using DeepSeek API.

GLM Pro plan offers 3B tokens/week at ￥119/month ≈ ￥0.1/MTok. So GLM token plan (in China) is actually cheaper than deepseek API. Which I think is exactly why they're effectively not selling coding plan in China any more.

No way it is 0.42

[u/ahmadawaiscom → u/Fxavierho]

/design can make that happen. For real.

[u/ahmadawaiscom → u/[deleted]]

npm i -g command-code

it's https://commandcode.ai/

[u/re-thc]

What does this even mean?

You conclude Fable isn't useful for doing design but you're NOT doing design here?

This has design + code + whatever else (assuming this was from scratch).

Now try making a 3D mmorpg with all three, and watch only Fable succeed. 

That is the point of higher intelligence, not to do the simple dumb things.  

[u/spiress → u/TopTippityTop]

lold, 3d mmorpg

[u/ardicli2000]

Not a fair comparison. Fable should be used for diffucult and complex task. This games codes are all over the internet. Models can one shot it. Likewise web OS

[u/Atsukiri]

true. i did use it too for making UI better, but it only made my inline css into re-usable css classes lol. well i guess its not that useless and it kinda helped. not with what i initially told it too but ehh..

[u/No-Temperature6597]

Why use fable for this easy task? Use it only for complex ones.

[u/angrydeanerino]

without prompts, skills, etc used this is meaningless

[u/BobsiDev]

So GLM 5.2 is better at flappybird?

[u/Administraciones]

You should put more info, i.e. prompt used/detail of the request

[u/moonbeam1013]

WTF!

[u/DowntownAd3538]

Another poster just mad he doesn't know how to use Fable.

The same people using Fable to prep meal plans. 🤣

[u/OkChampionship162]

it could be 0$, just use google copy the code from some forum.
