4o is more expensive than DeepSeek-R1, so…? Even if we took your premise as true and we say they are as good as DeepSeek, this would just mean that OpenAI is wildly overcharging its users.

now openai has no other choice than shipping a cheaper version of o1 and o3. The alternative is everyone using r1 (self hosted or via openrouter, nebius AI, together AI and co)
