I wonder whether all the DeepSeek providers will follow suit or are they going to try to stay competitive with the old prices?

DeepSeek’s cache pricing was always 1/10th the competition.

It’s still cheaper than everybody else.

I didn't get the impression that anyone competed with the old prices before.

What do you mean? Most providers on OpenRouter offer the same or lower prices than DeepSeek themselves:

- lower prices on cache miss

- but what matter - is cache hit

even now deepseek's off-peak hours for cache hit (0.007) is lower than other providers (~0.01)
