- linkregister 5mo agoHuggingFace offers DeepSeek as one of its models— it's pretty simple to spin up instances under your control. I'm not sure about OpenRouter but I wouldn't be surprised if they offer a US-based provider of DeepSeek. For reference, Cursor has their first own light fork of Kimi that they use as their baseline coding and review model.

- dghlsakjg 5mo agoI'm pretty sure that Deepseek said that pricing was promotional. Be curious to see if it lasts. V3 pricing from them was right in line with what the commodity providers are charging.
