A post comparing inference costs across different models argues that DeepSeek v4 Pro is currently an "incredible deal" on the market.
The author's comparison highlights:
- Running an end-to-end complex task with Fable 5 costs around $13–$20.
- Achieving similar functionality with DeepSeek v4 Pro costs only about $2.
The core takeaway is that if equivalent capabilities hold true, DeepSeek's pricing advantage per token/task is exceptionally clear.
