> over DS V4 Flash/Pro? 13-26x cheaper with comparable intelligence, and available across many different inference providers.

That's why DS4 already had a huge price hike announcement.

The inference providers did not raise the prices no?

Deepseek as a company can just increase prices for the crazily cheap cache they have, that's their only lever.

I guess the demand is just too high... But even after the price hike, ds is still much cheaper?
