Token-price chart makes DeepSeek look almost too cheap to plot
tokenbender · x · 2026-08-04
A chart comparing per-million-token prices across DeepSeek V4 Flash, Alibaba Qwen3.8-Max, Moonshot Kimi K3, OpenAI GPT-5.6 Sol, and Anthropic Fable 5 is being joked about because DeepSeek’s pricing looks so low it seems almost omitted from the chart.
The post’s point is the stark pricing gap: DeepSeek appears near the bottom, while OpenAI and Anthropic sit much higher on both input and output token prices.
