Have you tried 4.1 flash? I'm using it to do machine learning in a audiovisual data pipeline, I basically do nothing, I only provide data and it fine-tunes the algos, thresholds and so on in a loop, and publishes the evidences in markdown, creates images illustrating the clusters it found (I never asked for this!), all by itself. I was late and skeptical of the AI assisted coding but this is truly amazing.

And what absolutely crazy is that I used 2.5B tokens this month and it cost me $1.5 (w/ 99.4% cache hit)

I use 4.1 flash pretty extensively for translating mandarin to English and it is noticeably worse than claude. In terms of tasks complete I find deepseek to be more expensive than the claude subscription I have as well. Deepseek uses an insane number of tokens per task.
