I don't agree. Because DeepSeek is a few months behind Sota for 1/5 of the price even if you consider open router API prices.
I highly suspect models like Sol would be much more expensive without Chinese competition.
So to a point Sota pricing is already affected depending who you ask. And the tendency is for the gap to tighten.
