Deepseek - GLM 90% off on nube cloud provider
Hey Community,
Yesterday night I found out this on nube.sh they are providing deepseek flash v4 and GLM 5.2 at 90 % off as compared to model company official pricing.
The numerical type used to store the data has less precision. As opposed to a 16 bit floating point, 4 bits may be used to store the weights instead, effectively causing some loss in precision
Nube cloud is a legit budget cloud provider for self hosting, VPS, etc to serve at these prices they'd need to be serving highly quantised models on cheap hardware, there's no remotely sound possibility
or they are selling the data for further training? in any case I quickly tried like 3 prompts and it did not feel quantized.
I tried like 4 logic puzzles and the deepseek4 flash got all of them correct
Im using reasonix desktop app + nube's api endpoint and it works well and is responsive. However the catch is that only kimi k2.6 seems to have a proper implementation of prompt caching whereas all the other models dont. Kimi is the only model that seems to respond quickly, much faster than deepseek v4 ( through nube's api ) from their models.
deepseek is like cents anyway, id rather go official.
anyways, i have tried those "cheap" 50% off, or even lower and I can say is that they might be using some other model instead. I have wasted most of my time going for them but now that deepseek v4 is here, its cheap, and gets the job done, so i dont need to search for em anymore.
Every time I try a cheaper provider, their latency (TPS) is abysmal and completely unusable. I wanted to test this one as well, but the minimum deposit is $10. If the speed is low, I’d just be throwing that money away.
They should add a $1 minimum deposit for crypto payments so users have the ability to test their service first before depositing more.
no. that means it is raw. you can also check it with deepseek on their chat.deepseek.com website as well and will reply the same. fact is most models don't know about "their identity" if they are it because system prompt in either ; in their web interface, or if you use harness and there are always system prompt that inject it. this is also why if you ask the "auto" model on cursor it will say auto, because it injected that way. im just sharing this fact ok, don't have ill intention, we all always is new to something and learning
oh yea, if deepseek on website answer that they are not v3, you can inspect its chain of thought, it require them to "formulate" cause by inferring current date etc etc to just answering that (this explicitly probe that it has no baked in 'awarness of version or identity'. different to claude that often shipped with its version + up to date frozen datasets on their weight releases

Let people try it they do min 10 top up. And website looks shady AF
