DeepSeek has a lot of competing providers that at least state they don't train on API data, OpenRouter lists a bunch of them: https://openrouter.ai/deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3-0324/provide...

(This is a big advantage of open weight models; even if they're too big to host yourself, if it's worth anything there's a lot of competition for inference)

and all of them are so much more expensive than OG deepseek as to completely remove themselves from consideration

you should probably use grok 3 mini if you want "cheapest model that is reasonably good at code"

The above link disproves your "more expensive than OG deepdeek"

Only if you can't read. DSv3 is 4x cheaper than the cheapest option in that link during US business hours.
