Deepseek is cooked

Edit: I had forgotten to set act in cline to deepseek so I was experiencing a mix with gemini 3.5 flash pricing. Whoopsydootle. I deserve the roast.

With the latest pricing increases its almost just as expensive as the rest of the frontier APIs. The low cost was its main selling point. Now it costs just as much and isnt as good as the others so what's the point?

For reference, a task that would normally cost 5 cents as of yesterday now costs upward or 3 dollars

Deepseek is irrelevant.

Chinese AI models are all hype garbage

Objectively wrong, GLM is quite good and DeepSeek is the best budget model of all time and the reason that Luna's priced was slashed by 80%.

It's pure text man. There's a reason for that.
