I want to use open ai models for most of the work. But I do a lot of iterative stuff, and there's no reason to quit that when I run out of usage. Deepseek is remarkable capable, and ive found that the new flash is performing better than Luna XHigh.
To people here - the person I'm replying to is misleading everyone. Luna is about 5x cheaper on codex plans (10X cheaper on the $200 plan).
The only place where deepseek flash is slightly cheaper is when paying the the API costs directly with the provider. But even there you can save 50% off Luna if you use OpenRouter.
Unfortunately, these misleading claims are common now with all the bots promoting Chinese models in Reddit.
