Look interesting, though admittedly I am mostly interested in the open-source release of DeltaDB.

Re:Our decision on Cursor following its acquisition by SpaceX on Saturday August 29, 2026 @02:01AM (#49487306)
Elon Musk openly admitted to distilling OpenAI's models [1], which I think explains the "based on our experience with Elon Musk's companies violating contracts".

Last year, Anthropic cut off Windsurf the same way [2]. Fortunately, unlike Anthropic, OpenAI allows you to use your subscription with other harnesses, including Cursor.

Of course today, Anthropic is taking the "high road" and is OK with with SpaceX [3] including their models in Cursor, because they need SpaceX's compute.

Re:Stealth Model on Friday August 21, 2026 @05:18AM (#49385683)
There seems to be a big increase in posts that link to OpenRouter for no good reason, even when a better sources are available.
Re:Stealth Model on Friday August 21, 2026 @05:15AM (#49385661)
OpenCode offers this with ZDR agreement in place. Seems better than OpenRouter if you want to test it out: https://x.com/opencode/status/2090544355824038300

The link should be changed to this.

As of now, there is only a single provider for this model and that's the official DeepSeek API.

When GPT 6 comes out, would you expect the top thread to link to OpenRouter?

Re:Zed: Delta on Wednesday August 12, 2026 @03:48PM (#49277660)
Doesn't appear to be opensource (and neither is DeltaDB, it seems), unlike Zed. Any plans to change that?
Re:DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 on Wednesday August 12, 2026 @03:43PM (#49277605)
Why does this link to OpenRouter, which has no useful information on its own? Linking to the official API or the benchmarks would make more sense:

- https://api-docs.deepseek.com/

- https://x.com/ChrisGPT/status/2087572834650407024/photo/1 (officially posted on WeChat, this is just one of many reposts)

Re:DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 on Saturday August 08, 2026 @05:55AM (#49220288)
Low, High and Max, obviously, can't be compared across models. They only mean the model is likely to spend less reasoning effort (~output tokens) with Low than High on the same, *single shot* task.

But even in this very post, you can see that Max was actually cheaper than High.

If you are using API, you should be comparing based on end-to-end cost or speed or whatever blend of those two matches your cost/time budget.

Re:Stripe more than tripled the price of Stripe Radar on Thursday July 30, 2026 @10:29AM (#49110549)
It used to be $0.02 per screening, jumped to $0.07
Will these be compatible with the Digital Credentials API in Chrome (https://developer.chrome.com/blog/digital-credentials-api-or...) or will websites be essentially be locked out of friction-less age verification?
Re:Kimi-K3 Releases on HuggingFace 7/27 on Monday July 27, 2026 @11:24AM (#49070990)
Based on the best available information, DeepSeek is pricing the API such that they can repay their infra capex over 10 months, while deprecating/amortizing the cost of said infra over 3 years.

For my product, I run GLM 5.2 and other models myself, in production, on rented hardware. Paying API prices would cost much more.

EDIT: You can now see several other third-party providers for Kimi K3 (Nebius, Fireworks). All charge exactly the same as the first-party. Does that mean that their costs are the same? Seems quite unlikely. It's simply not an efficient market, yet.

Re:Kimi-K3 Releases on HuggingFace 7/27 on Monday July 27, 2026 @08:00AM (#49068354)
You're assuming inference providers are going to sell tokens at cost. You're also assuming that the inference providers have will optimized inference engine. I haven't seen that to be the case so far, to be honest.

Take a look at GLM 5 vs GLM 5.2 pricing -- GLM 5.2 cost more despite being the same model.

Take a look a look at DeepSeek, which hosts DS v4, profitably, yet others aren't able or willing to match the price.
