The proper comparison would be GPT 5.6 Luna at 38 on the intelligence score and $0.18 per task vs $0.27 for DeepSeek Flash 4.1.

i was trying to make a point about efficiency of serving the model. the cost per task itself would not be enough to show that.
you could compare gpt 5.6 luna. if you did that the same way as before you would get a blended price of $0.17 for luna at AA 38. for baseten it would be $0.20 for v4.1 at AA 40.
assume roughly the same intelligence. on AA openai gets 117tps. baseten gets 284tps. so 18% more expensive but 142% more tps.
the fast mode is again double the cost, roughly same intelligence. so luna in that case would be 70% expensive. take the per task cost and it would still 9% more expensive.
so i think there is something to be said about the efficiency of the model.
