Was this taken into account when reviewing the model?
- cyber_kinetist 5mo agoYeah even the Chinese open models have a problem that inference costs for these aren't that cheap. The only way out for the AI bubble collapse is simply more efficient hardware at lower costs and infrastructure setup downtime.
- gmerc 5mo agoIt’s just an introduction price to speed up adoption for the rest of the month, hardly worth mentioning compared to subsidized coding plans. We know DS runs profitable, they also indicate in their paper they expect prices to drop as they get access to the next gen Huawei cards.
- segmondy 5mo agoYou can imagine the GPUs cost as fixed, then your costs becomes energy. Efficient hardware and lower costs will pop the bubble faster. The only way out is profit.
- gmerc 5mo agoobviously everyone subsidizes for user acquisition - after all people need to be coaxed to test your model, claude code subscriptions come to me one. DeepSeek pro is 65/86% cheaper (i/o tokens) in subsidized pro vs pro and 91/97% cheaper with current subsidies. Flash vs Sonnet 4.6 is 95/98%
