I went and tried to debug a script. Asked deepseek 4 pro and Claude the same prompt, they both took the exact same decisions, which led to the exact same issue and me telling them its still not working, with context, over a dozen time.

Over a dozen time they just gave both the same answer, not word for word, but the exact same reasoning.

The difference is that deepseek did on 1/40th of the price (api).

To be honest deepseek V4 pro is 75% off currently, but still were speaking of something like 3$ vs 20$.
