Why? It's open weight, there are plenty providers on open router that are serving the latest v4 flash at 0.14/0.28 $.
Yes, but even the cheapest providers on OpenRouter are charging at least 10x what DeepSeek does for cached input tokens, which is where DeepSeek gets most of the cheapness.
(nevermind, I was reading DeepInfra as Deepseek. My bad)
You are missing a 0 to the left of the 2 on Deepseek's number
This would be more convincing if those providers had converged on a number that was not the exact pricing of DeepSeek themselves. Clearly DeepSeek is setting the price here and without them holding it down I expect increases.
Non necessarily, they can easily increase market share by staying where they are.
The most expensive defines the price. Others need to be just slightly cheaper.
