Did Deepseek just amplify the pricing war? Deepseek V4.1 flash apparently codes at Opus 5 level at 2% of the cost. Anthropic has already made Opus 5.5 dirt cheap in its subscriptions. OpenAI is serving near unlimited Sol 6.1 in their subscriptions. Now we have deepseek serving a 200tps+ model basically for free. These labs are racing to the bottom.
