I use deepseek for a lot of my personal day-to-day agent needs, and I will simply put this here and let this speak for itself, last 30 days:

- Cost: $4.55USD

- API requests: 3,467

- Tokens: 323,183,886

And as an engineer who leads a small team, I have very high standards for quality, and these carry across to my personal projects where I use deepseek. It has not disappointed at all for coding or review tasks. For everything else, use another model.
