genuine question: is there an improvement in using platform deepseek com, over openrouter and a third party provider?
Potentially higher cache hit rate at the expense of your data being kept for training.
Yes, openrouter providers are all over the place (in a bad way): https://mmoustafa.com/blog/so-you-want-to-use-openrouter/
I've experienced this firsthand and now I generally pin to providers that I trust on openrouter, or just pony up and pay for the real thing.

platform deepseek com's tos enforces use all your data on training, which is a major set back for me.
Other than that, I think they are cheaper last time I compared.
So you don't want the model to be better yet you continue to reuse it?... I find this kind of selfish behaviour increasing within us developers, like a fear of avoiding the inevitable
