2025/07/06

📉 Why are users walking away from one of the cheapest and smartest AI models out there? It's not a bug — it's a strategy.Just 150 days ago, DeepSeek R1 made waves. It matched OpenAI-level reasoning and launched with jaw-droppingly low pricing — just $0.055 for input and $2.19 for output tokens. It undercut the market leader by over 90%. OpenAI had to slash their flagship GPT-4 prices by 80% in response. It looked like DeepSeek had won.🤯 But then something strange happened: while usage of
