Where are you seeing that? At the bottom of this post from Qwen I see:

Qwen 3.8 flash: $0.16 / $0.47

Compared to

Deepseek 0723: $0.03 / $0.075

(units in USD/m tok)

0.03 / 0.075 ? Where can i get that prices? Especially during peak hours DS4flash became much more money hungry than last month.

https://openrouter.ai/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731?endpoi...

8t/s though apparently and their cache hit rate is terrible so I don't think it's worth it over Relace.

Deepseek 0732 is $0.22/$0.66 off peak

GLM-5.3-Flash which is larger and better, costs less than this
