Negative users dismiss DeepSeek's ultra-low API pricing as an unserious bootstrapping tactic reliant on petty tricks in overly granular consumer markets.

Yes, except subscription plans are fundamentally inferior to pay-as-you-go services if price per unit is equal. I had $50 on DeepSeek for a year+. This is a Junzi's economic model. Subscriptions are ultimately an invitation for smart users to exploit the less savvy. 小人, Shang🫵
@teortaxesTex so lite has 100m per week, 400m per month, so 0.04 dollar per mil token, around 3x the ds api price, if go with the max plan(annual with 30% discount), the per million token downs to 0.014 dollar, essentially on par with dsv4pro

Yeah it's plug and play

ofc Zhipu has an existential motivation to get further ahead by then

Ultimately though, all consumer markets are too small and too stupid. They all tax human attention deficit. And attention is, as we now know, All You Need. How much of "White Collar" labor is rent-seeking on this fact? How much is there to be eaten? AI will go well beyond AI.
I forgive this as a business bootstrapping technique, but ultimately it's unserious and only exists in the conditions of a too-granular, too-slow, too-small, deeply inefficient market. Capitalism ought to sand off these petty tricks until none are left.
