Considering the cloud version, all three models compared in the article (Qwen 3.6 35BA3b, 3.6 27B and DeepSeek V4 Flash), have very similar performance[0], BUT on cloud, for some reason DeepSeek V4 Flash is 10-20x cheaper than the Qwen models.

If Qwen models are so much easier to run, why are the providers charging more than V4 Flash?

Also confused by this. Deepseek V4 flash is so much better than Qwen 3.6 yet cheaper to use.
