DeepSeek V4 Pro is wonderful and ridiculously cheap, but we are sleeping on MiMo V2.5 Pro, which have the same price (and lower cached price), it's multimodal and it's higher up in most benchmarks. Same thing for MiMo V2.5 vs DeepSeek V4 Flash.
At the moment of writing https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48343690 MiMo V2.5 Pro had a lower cache hit ratio. From the article:
OSS models, depending on who you use them from, make a huge difference, mostly due to cache-hit rates.
Model Cheapest effectiveInputPrice (Provider)
MiMo-V2.5-Pro 0.3720 (Xiaomi)
DeepSeek V4 Pro (Max) 0.0560 (DeepSeek)EDIT: okay I misread it, does this mean that DeepSeek reuses a higher percentage of tokens at cache price that MiMo, am I right?
DeepSeek V4 Pro 0.83%
DeepSeek V4 Flash 2%
