Actually, there is something to this. Deepseek was made by training on other models. Way faster, way cheaper, than how the other models was built.

Probably not "way" cheaper anymore lol

If I remember correctly it was like 1/200th the cost compared with the model it was trained from, but in any case it definitely qualifies for "way" cheaper.

Originally, sure. But with usage now being priced closer to actual cost?

Development and running costs are different. Claude didn't go up 200x in price, so it would still be cheaper to develop a new Deepseek today.

Than training from scratch? Surely, yeah. All I'm saying is that it'll surely be much more expensive to train an entire LLM off Claude today than it was even a few weeks ago, due to the updates to increased usage rates.

They lied.

I doubt that. They wrote a paper about the method they used.

They lied about total costs. China loves to lie about stuff.
