DEEPSEEK JUST MADE GPT-6 ASTRA LOOK VERY EXPENSIVE 💀 It reportedly hit 98% of Astra’s quality on UI generation… while costing roughly 70× less 👀 DeepSeek V4.1 Flash → 81.2 GPT-6 Astra → 82.7 But the price gap is WILD: $0.023 vs $1.61 per design 💀 And DeepSeek was faster too: DeepSeek → 5.3 min Astra → 11.1 min That’s nearly the same quality at a fraction of the cost and time. But here’s where it gets interesting… Astra still leads on several broader benchmarks. So is DeepSeek actually catching up… or is the price-performance gap becoming the real AI battleground? 👀 Either way, 98% quality at ~1/70th the cost is crazy. Would you pick DeepSeek over Astra for UI work? 💀
