I thought they just used open weights models on infrastructure they get from someone else. They say,
“What about data and privacy?
The plan is designed primarily for international users, with models hosted in the US, EU, and Singapore for stable global access. Our providers follow a zero-retention policy and do not use your data for model training.”
Note "cheaper" is only relative to the 2x peak price. The off-peak price is still the same price as today. In other words they hiked the price 2x for peak hours only.
> in California (PDT / UTC-7): 03:00 to 18:00, and 21:00 to 23:00.
I think that’s incorrect. For California (PDT), 2X pricing will be in effect from 6–9pm and 11pm–3am. During PST, the CA windows will be 5–8pm and 10pm–2am.
A bit weird that it also applies to weekends. I guess it helps not creating wrong incentives for companies, but it hurts open and personal projects a bit.
Yall trust LLM providers sweeping up keys and passwords? Sometimes you have a little .env file or config files in your repos that are not checked in... LLMs like to read that stuff and send it in. I don't trust any of the LLM providers, but less so the ones seated in China.
Yes, never trust the perfidious chinamen or their evil LLMs. They are on another level of evil than our glorious and noble western LLMs that are used to bomb schools.
Mostly yeah - convenience tradeoff is worthwhile. Though wouldn’t give it anything that could do serious damage like unrestricted GCP keys or something
This is UTC+8 so to get cheaper DeepSeek:
- in London (BST / UTC+1): 11:00 to 02:00, and 05:00 to 07:00.
- in NY (EDT / UTC-4): 06:00 to 21:00, and 00:00 to 02:00.
- in California (PDT / UTC-7): 03:00 to 18:00, and 21:00 to 23:00.
Subscription plans like OpenCode Go might not even pass down this 2x cost since most customers are EU/US.

that's why cheaper price is 03-18 and 21-23, aka 3am-6pm,9pm-11pm
But please let me know where my math is wrong.
08:00 - 12:00 would have really hurt if prices were not ridiculously low to begin with.
There is also a banner about the price change on their API platform site, at least for me
