DeepSeek v4 Flash with high is already a really great work horse. Reliable. But this time, not only that it is better but they are reducing the price by 50% so that's great.

I also find the DeepSeek models to be more precise than Claude models (last I used 4.7) in that I yet had not the occasion where model did something unintentional that I did not direct it to.

EDIT: Updated percentage reduction.

Reducing the price by 100% means it’s free. I think you mean reducing the price by 50%

What I mean is that price has been effectively halved.

During off-peak hours, the unit price is reduced from $0.007 for input cache hits to $0.003, $0.22 for input cache misses to $0.15, and $0.12 for output to $0.6

Halved would be a 50% percent reduction.

0.15/0.22 ≈ 0.68, meaning a roughly 32% reduction on inputs. The 50% reduction is only outputs and cached inputs.

Sounds like 50% reduction to me. 100% reduction means price -> 0
