All the slop has to come from somewhere in the end.

This might be the very exit of the central sewage.

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017, for a set of document extraction tasks we use, is the first model to step change move the cost per task down.

Serving via Deepinfra Flex at $0.0784 / $0.2352 / $0.0024 per M/tok is the least expensive cloud model we have ever benched by a wide margin.

This price / performance is probably the reason for the spike.
