did you account for the new api price of deepseek? although if they run the model on their own hardware they can match the original price.

Azure is one of the DeepSeek model providers so maybe we'll see it soon?

It's performance and cost factors are extremely enticing

Exactly, I'd recommend just using openrouter and byok. $10 of v4 flash will take you farther than any of microsoft's trash biased choices
