  deepseek is a lab, the models are open weight(atleast after a bit) they have a somewhat selfhostable model(flash), but are mostly known for having super cheap api access no zdr ofcourse.

    > no zdr ofcourse. Since the models are open, there's other infra providers who have different policies.

        Tbh I just go through openrouter because it's easy, so you can just go down the list in that and see who sounds good. I honestly don't spend much time at it.

      Yes, but those are more expensive normally
