Personally, I find myself using the Chinese alternatives more and more as they are just way cheaper.

The good thing is that a deepseek can be run locally relatively well with consumer hardware. I trust chinese companies as much as i trust american companies with my data and my prompts.

You have 170+ GB VRAM at home? (:

I mainly use DeepSeek v4 Flash now, it's the cheapest around and the quality is high enough for coding. At work we're throwing tons of money at Claude, but even there I usually stick to Sonnet (as Opus is burning money).

You don't need 170+ GB of VRAM. Whole model can be run at around 1 token/second on a modern hardware from an ssd. Which is slow, don't get me wrong, but it still somewhat useable.

Upd.Once again, for those who use AI because struggles to read: it is slow, but it is usable. Which is, by definition, means that you don't need 170+ GB of VRAM to run this model. Period. It runs from ssd. That is a fact.

"Somewhat" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there 😂 How much time does it take to process your average request?

1 token/second isn't remotely acceptsble lol

Theres a lot of good models free online that are open source/Chinese and the only cost is a bit of slowness on my rig. No token limit or whatever. Totally agree.

Its about as good as commercial products now...
