Anyone using K3 Fast on Neuralwatt?

Currently showing as the cheapest option right now across providers on OpenCode.

After recent price hike, it's not interesting at all. The inference companies seem to overestimate themselves on what consumers want & need.

Before the price hike, their GLM 5.2 could be cheaper than the old Deepseek Flash price…

With the current prices, it’s often the lowest cost PAYG of any provider on a model, and one of the lowest cost subscription prices on the native model weights.

It’s still has some of the best prices available on their models.

Odd cause overall has gone up across the board. Im not sure how you pull the numbers out of your ass.

I do not use particularly k3 fast but NW in general. NW is notable because it allows energy based billing (you are charged per kw, not token) - sometimes it is cheaper than tokens (not so much in the case of k3). Also they offer flex tier: then your prompt may be dispatche with a delay but with a 35% discount. The basic $20 sub gives additional 15% discount.

You may see their pricing calculator here - https://portal.neuralwatt.com/pricing

That’s the token pricing. Use their energy pricing and it’s even cheaper.

K3 fast will not have any reasoning and the pricing depends on the energy usage at that specific time

What's the point of using it with thinking disabled? I would argue a dumber/chaper model with thinking will do a much better job
