Dunno, if in this day and age you are making inference more expensive, more scarce, you are honestly moving in the wrong direction and DeepSeek and others will gladly take your lunch.

The hardware to run deepseek is still incredibly expensive.

		> The hardware to run deepseek is still incredibly expensive. Deepseek API pricing is very low compared to Anthropic/OpenAI API pricing. For many, the 300% difference in pricing may be difficult to justify, if the quality difference is very small. And there will be many tasks where the most expensive/the best model, is not needed. Currently many people end up using Opus 4.7/GPT 5.5 for many tasks without thinking about it.
