alt Hacker NewsDeepseek v4 Pro on US hosting is like 1.5x cheaper and 5x cheaper on input/output compared to Sonnet, and that's not even a fair comparison because Deepseek is much stronger than Sonnet. It's more reasonable to compare with Opus 4.5, which is much more expensive.
Sure but you can also look at Grok 4.3, which is smarter and faster than DeepSeek at the same price point.
