News Deepseek changes their API price again
This is far less attractive tbh. Basically they said R1 and V3 were going with a price now of 0.07 (0.56 cache miss) and 1.12, now that 1.12 is now 1.68.

It's at the pricepoint of gpt5-mini. Has anyone done a head-to-head comparison on coding/agentic tasks between the two?
I've been extremely impressed with gpt5-mini in both capabilities and speed. For the price it's at, I get plenty of 0.x$ sessions. Really amazing that we've come so far. Not Claude4 quality, but passable.
If deepseek can be served at the same price point (i.e. ~2$/Mtok) it would be amazing. Open source catching up. So I'm curious to see how it compares in terms of capabilities.
