The large open models (GLM-5.3, Kimi3, etc) are far more expensive than their large closed equivalents (Opus, Sol), because the closed models are far more subsidized when using subscriptions.

If you see no difference at all in between Opus and Deepseek Flash for your work, that is great! Personally, I found the latter to be unusable for the projects I was working on.

Can you describe what you are doing where comparing the two is problematic?

For what it's worth, I use DS flash for statistical analysis, design, scripting, server maintenance. The same I used for Opus.
