    Personally, I find myself using the Chinese alternatives more and more as they are just way cheaper.

      The good thing is that a deepseek can be run locally relatively well with consumer hardware. I trust chinese companies as much as i trust american companies with my data and my prompts.

        You have 170+ GB VRAM at home? (:

        I mainly use DeepSeek v4 Flash now, it’s the cheapest around and the quality is high enough for coding. At work we’re throwing tons of money at Claude, but even there I usually stick to Sonnet (as Opus is burning money).
