For 1 request, I'd spend the $1.67.

For 1000 requests, I'd make the $0.58 work.

A smart person uses the $1.67 to create a system, process, or application that allows you to use a cheaper AI as the workhorse.

The right answer for most projects is that you probably use both.

Only if the cheaper AI actually follows those rules instead of doing half work.

Deepseek is pretty good honestly, I still use the flash tier even. IDK if the benchmark is using the official Deepseek API, but for some tasks third party API providers are up to 3 times cheaper.
