Why would anyone car what the launch price is? Comparing launch pricing is just an odd thing to do.

Because labs can learn to optimize inference post launch, plus can move to use bigger/better clusters depending on demand. It is not impossible to imagine Qwen cuts prices further with QAT/MTP-like improvements.

		Or they could move from highly subsidized models like the Deepseek 4 launch pricing. Launch price is just like any other price. It's just a price. It's impossible to guess what might or might not happen. Compare the price now.
