DeepSeek v4 Flash with high is already a really great work horse. Reliable. But this time, not only that it is better but they are reducing the price by 50% so that's great.
I also find the DeepSeek models to be more precise than Claude models (last I used 4.7) in that I yet had not the occasion where model did something unintentional that I did not direct it to.
EDIT: Updated percentage reduction.
Reducing the price by 100% means it’s free. I think you mean reducing the price by 50%
What I mean is that price has been effectively halved.
During off-peak hours, the unit price is reduced from $0.007 for input cache hits to $0.003, $0.22 for input cache misses to $0.15, and $0.12 for output to $0.6
Halved would be a 50% percent reduction.
0.15/0.22 ≈ 0.68, meaning a roughly 32% reduction on inputs. The 50% reduction is only outputs and cached inputs.
Sounds like 50% reduction to me. 100% reduction means price -> 0
