    “Permanently” lol it’s a subscription and the terms say they can change the price at any time. How is it legal for them to advertise with the word “permanent”?

      lol it’s a subscription

      It’s actually API access price, and it’s charged per input + output tokens. $0.87 per million tokens is damn cheap.

      They probably have super cheap electricity and it’s possible they use cheap Chinese Ai chips for inference.

      I think it’s meant to convey that it’s not a temporary deal on the old price, but a permanent new price point.

        What is the effective difference? It’s not like they’re offering long term contracts.

        Don’t use any of them much and from my limited experience they all seem to be pretty much the same. In fact DeepSeek probably has been a little better than ChatGPT.

          As long as you don’t mind them harvesting every tiny bit of data you feed it.

          I don’t like the big US players, but at least they’re doing a tiny bit to keep out of your shit. Deepseek is not pretending at all. I suppose it’s at least honest and the price point is REALLY tempting. Openclaw gets expensive fast with the number of tokens it consumes. I burned through $30 in two days with it using Claude Haiku/Sonnet. Plugging it into cheap LLM is a nice idea, but no thanks.
