DeepSeek just shipped V4.1 Flash 1017. On their own coding agent benchmarks it beats Claude Opus 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol. About $0.20 per task. The same chart puts frontier models at $2 to $10. Independent evals are still out. Your side project does not need the priciest model. It needs enough cheap loops that you keep shipping until someone pays you.
