Ironically the few people not scamming you for cache reads are Deepseek.
Everyone else charges a ridiculous amount but Deepseeks API is $0.003625 / M tok.
I'm surprised no one talks about this because of how significant it is. GPT 5.5 for example costs a ridiculous $0.50 / M tok cached. It's literally almost 140 times cheaper which matters a lot for tool calls.
- himata4113 5mo agoit's a temporary promo, deepseek will return to only 10x cheaper after.
- kingstnap 5mo agoYes Deepseek V4 pro is currently on discount. > The deepseek-v4-pro model is currently offered at a 75% discount, extended until 2026/05/31 15:59 UTC. However even when the discount ends its still very cheap. It will go back to $0.0145 / M cache hit. That's still 34x cheaper than GPT 5.5.
- himata4113 5mo agodoesn't matter when subscriptions get cache reads for free, it is only really worth it if it's x340 cheaper otherwise I'd be paying $120 a day, 90% of the cost being cache reads for any top level opensource model.
