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?
