Luna has one vendor and they can change the price any time. Deepseek is open and has dozens of vendors competing to serve it.
replyCan you help me find a few names? These are inference providers running open weights models, right?
replyThank you in advance!
Look at OpenRouter. They have lots of providers
replyLuna vs v4 Flash, sure.
replyBut DeepSeek v4 Pro is a far more capable model and still cheaper than anything that it competes with, from what I can see.
Luna is multimodal.
replyNot sure who you're replying to? I was talking about Pro not Flash. Luna and DS4Pro are not competitors. DS4 Pro is probably about GPT 5.4 high level or Opus 4.8, not Luna. It's cheaper than either.
replyWhy not? They probably only offered those deals because of DeepSeek aggressive pricing. Now that DeepSeek is 3x more expensive it's time to revert those discounts.
replyTibo said it’s permanent, whatever that means
replyProbably means it's not intended as temporary, but not that the price will never change again
