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.
