Indeed, while DeepSeek 3.2 or GLM 4.7 are not Opus 4.5 quality, they are close enough that I could _get by_ because they're not that far off, and are about where I was with Sonnet 3.5 or Sonnet 4 a few months ago.

I'm not convinced DeepSeek is making money hosting these, but it's not that far off from it I suspect. They could triple their prices and still be cheaper than Anthropic is now.
