Is that cheaper than DS4 flash?

Slightly more expensive than the (post-price hike) DS4 flash pricing, but in the ballpark.

Why is the price spread on DSV4 0731 tokens so wide? It's almost a factor of 10.

Hm. GLM is more expensive in all dimensions than DS but it has a lower weighted average input? How is that?? Something seems off.

I mean, it implies that it has an even better cache hit rate that DS flash, which is impressive, as the chr on DS flash was already really good in my experience

I think the weighted average takes into account all providers (some DS4 flash providers are 'premium' providers and offering higher speeds for higher pricing) and these are tilting the scale

Comparison should be to 0731

updated thanks

All I can say is that even if it is, I was almost glad to go back to using DS4 Flash. Because 0XAlpha was just so friggin slow to complete a task because of the level of circular reasoning that it would go over and over into, sometimes even returning no output. If I just wanted something done I would switch from a free model to a paid one which is crazy.

Tbh it was also slow because it was being hammered by everyone making use of the free tokens

Possibly influenced by that, but I believe that is a different issue. I meant the way it processed a request. It went into so many more loops of thinking.

It's even cheaper than DS4's off-peak pricing. Seems like DeepSeek have some stiff competition now

Few weeks ago, I wouldn't expect this statement to be true. Accelerate!
