It highly depends on the task. So far, on the tasks I personally benchmark, DS v4.1 Flash @ deepinfra.com is always cheaper because their cached input price for it is so very low and their cache hit rate is so very high.

do you generally favor deepinfra or you are mentioning them because it's 50% off on openrouter?
I really want to see some comparison on deepseek 4.1 flash 1017 providers, like, what's more trustworthy to not quantize without disclosing it, etc
also I can't find the official DeepSeek provider on openrouter https://openrouter.ai/deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017

I use deepinfra directly. They have had a deep discount listed on their site for as long as I've been using them for that model and for v4.0 before that. I've used the DS v4.x Flash model from a number of provides and the inference quality at deepinfra seems to be as good as anyones.
