I think the exact numbers may be off but the important thing is the pricing model on the API being many times cheaper than others. I suspect deepseek is unable to lose the same amount of money as the infinitely funded blackholes that are Anthropic and OpenAIYes, I saw that, but still quite unbelievable to do this.
My point is that it's in Deepseek's interest and China's interest to not fully acknowledge just how many GPUs they have or are using to training. So, I do put a Question mark in stuff like this.
