DEEPSEEK: PENNY WISE, HOUR FOOLISH

Cheap AI work can still run up the clock. In a post about model tests, SulkaMike reports that DeepSeek produced a “respectable result” for about 23 cents on one test, compared with $6 for Opus. The catch, according to the post: DeepSeek took around an hour, while Opus took 20 minutes. For anyone waiting on the answer, price isn’t the only cost.
