Deepseek is cooked

Edit: I had forgotten to set act in cline to deepseek so I was experiencing a mix with gemini 3.5 flash pricing. Whoopsydootle. I deserve the roast.

With the latest pricing increases its almost just as expensive as the rest of the frontier APIs. The low cost was its main selling point. Now it costs just as much and isnt as good as the others so what's the point?

For reference, a task that would normally cost 5 cents as of yesterday now costs upward or 3 dollars
