Mimo & deepseek are really amazing at optimizing ai. Read the the official blog page i linked, it will give amazing insight on how they pulled off this kind of low pricing with 2x - 3x profit margins.

I hope in future we get fable lvl ai at the cost of current DSV4. Thats far more sufficient for like 90% of people.

Xai is also pushing for low cost api but i think mimo and deepseek is better (mimo is better than ds4 in coding but ds4 is better in world knowledge)

If anyone of you have some cool paper or blog related to pricing or optimization of ai then please drop it in the comment.
