@nick.puru: GPT-6 Astra + DeepSeek 4.1 = Frontier AI for Almost $0 DeepSeek V4.1 Flash is an open model listed at about 80 times cheaper than GPT-6 Astra. I gave both the same jobs inside Codex to see what that gap looks like on real work. I set up DeepSeek in Codex, show two ways to use it, and have Astra hand a job off to it. Then both models build a landing page, an eight-slide sales deck and a client proposal, and DeepSeek rebrands a finished page for a different business. You'll see where it kept up and where it got careless. At API prices it came out about 10 times cheaper, not 80. I explain why, cover the data privacy question, and share how I'd split work between the two.
