Slightly more expensive than the (post-price hike) DS4 flash pricing, but in the ballpark.

All I can say is that even if it is, I was almost glad to go back to using DS4 Flash. Because 0XAlpha was just so friggin slow to complete a task because of the level of circular reasoning that it would go over and over into, sometimes even returning no output. If I just wanted something done I would switch from a free model to a paid one which is crazy.

It's even cheaper than DS4's off-peak pricing. Seems like DeepSeek have some stiff competition now
