Try to use DS platform directly - cheaper and better than openrouter, no subscription

Openrouter has cheaper inference than deepseek for the prior version of v4 flash, which I suspect will happen within a day or two with this version, and they don’t offer subscriptions. Are you confusing it with opencode?

  • No, maybe I've checked too much time ago, but direct DS was cheaper for all versions - also I had issues with openrouter providers availability

    • There are numerous providers offering full weight versions for a significant discount.

      Availability and rate limiting can be an issue, though. I’ve found that constraining the providers works well to solve that though.
