Chinese providers realized that LLMs have peaked and have started trying to reduce the price per token. Deepseek pro v4 can easily add tests to my complicated code and costs cents for a million tokens.

I love nonsense like this. If using a larger model to plan a chain of thought task for a smaller model works, what makes you think Anthropic can't do the same thing and offer it as one of their effort level settings?
