Also they have a pretty big token discount running this month: https://api-docs.deepseek.com/quick_start/pricing/

Even without the discount, I'll have to think about whether I need the 100 EUR tier of Anthropic Max, or whether downgrading to Pro and using DeepSeek is good enough. And they're also up on OpenRouter and other places.

Been using those models, not quite comparable with Opus 4.6/4.7 but with max reasoning, pretty good for a variety of dev tasks! Only big problem is no ability to process images, so can't really do browser use for some semi-automated testing, I'd have to write Playwright tests even when I don't want to.

I have been using Deepseek v4 pro for personal projects and home infra related work for last couple of weeks. It's quality of work is not bad at all, it is fairly fast and given the fraction of the cost compared to Claude, I can keep going which makes it a very compelling option. Looking forward to trying out Kimi 2.6, thanks for the recommendation.
