What DeepSeek is
DeepSeek reset the category's price floor and has kept cutting since. The V3 line is released under MIT, so the same model you call over the API can be run on your own hardware or through a Western host. The first-party API is the cheapest serious option on this page; its governance terms are also the most permissive, which is the reason to route around it for sensitive workloads.
