If deepseek operate on 80% margins as some suggested, this means that OpenAI reduced theirs from 1600% to 1200%.

The margin is defined as (price-cost of goods)/(price); the highest it can be is 100%.

Probably even higher because openai and anthropic undoubtably have the lowest cost per token generated, especially with cerebras being able to serve a million tokens every 16 minutes.

Does anyone know who/what hardware serves Deepseek official for US and EU customers? And where it is located?

Yeah, if they didn't buy up all the ram and ssd's, they would have imploded.. maybe they should have stayed public benefit/open after all...
