The way I am doing the math with my Max subscription and assuming DeepSeek API prices, it is still x5 times cheaper. So either DeepSeek is losing money (unlikely) or Anthropic is losing lots of money (more likely). Grok kinda confirms my suspicions. Assuming DeepSeek prices, I've probably spent north of $100 of Grok compute. I didn't pay Grok or Twitter a single cent. $100 is a lot of loss for a single user.
- tonyhart7 1y agowhat?? sonnet/opus is way better than deepseek, how can you compare that to deepseek also you probably talking about distilled deepseek model
- nurettin 1y agoI haven't tried deepseek but I've seen claude do crazy things if you are at the correct random.seed
- Tokumei-no-hito 1y agowhat do you mean about correct random.seed?
- christina97 1y agoIt means “if you’re unlucky”.
- nurettin 1y agoTo me, claude usually feels like a bumbling idiot. But in extremely rare cases it feels like a sentient super intelligence. I facetiously assumed that in those cases it ran on the correct RNG seed.

- manojlds 1y agoComparison should be with Claude API pricing. It doesn't matter what other models cost.
- vmg12 1y agoClaude API pricing has significant margin baked in. I think it's safe to assume that anthropic is getting 80% margin on their api and they are selling claude code for less than that.
