DeepSeek V4 pricing outruns GLM-5.3 and Qwen-3.8 in cost-performance debate
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-08-29
Users noted that DeepSeek appears to be discouraging usage, even offering API top-up refunds. Discussions comparing DeepSeek V4, GLM-5.3, and Qwen-3.8 reveal that DSV4 is currently the most expensive, while GLM-5.3 is both the cheapest and the most powerful. The sentiment suggests DeepSeek does not intend to compete with GLM or Qwen on price-performance, and current complaints align with their expected outcome.
