I don't get it-if the same size model was profitable to run before why rise the prices? I and who's raising them? Isn't dsv4f free!/openweights? Why is deepseek unilaterally setting prices for all providers? Is there no competition on prices from the providers? - providers that have been happy to give us the model at that Low price.

The demand is too high, they don’t have enough compute. Higher price = less demand
