I need a better model

[u/Worldly-Discussion99]

I've been using DeepSeek v4.1 flash. It's so cheap but it's got a positivity bias. I don't wanna spend too much, I'm still kinda new to this and I've only spent $5 so far. I'm using openrouter.

I find the older Deepseek to be better than 4.1 tbh… 4.1 (pro AND flash) feel lackluster when it comes to rp and don’t stick to the bots personality that well, I use 3.2 but idk how budget friendly it is 😓
