“Permanently” lol it’s a subscription and the terms say they can change the price at any time. How is it legal for them to advertise with the word “permanent”?
60% of the time it works every time
Don’t use any of them much and from my limited experience they all seem to be pretty much the same. In fact DeepSeek probably has been a little better than ChatGPT.
As long as you don't mind them harvesting every tiny bit of data you feed it.
I don't like the big US players, but at least they're doing a tiny bit to keep out of your shit. Deepseek is not pretending at all. I suppose it's at least honest and the price point is REALLY tempting. Openclaw gets expensive fast with the number of tokens it consumes. I burned through $30 in two days with it using Claude Haiku/Sonnet. Plugging it into cheap LLM is a nice idea, but no thanks.
Oh, bless your heart, you sweet summer child.
Really depends on your point of view. Personally I see the US AI push as a maximum harvest and it is hard to see the Chinese as being worse. The US has really gone flat out destroying whatever credibility and moral authority they may have had. As I said I don’t use the technology that much and the queries are pretty innocuous, so it may be different for others.
I personally prefer to hand my data to the Chinese. Us is an evil place with evil people nowadays. The Chinese never did anything against me personally.
I think it's meant to convey that it's not a temporary deal on the old price, but a permanent new price point.
What is the effective difference? It’s not like they’re offering long term contracts.
Likely more to do with communication to customers on sale pages and such, and consequently with customer protection laws. They likely can't advertise it as a discounted price for example in the same way a seasonal sale would be signposted, I would imagine at least.
Permanent under the current pricing model, subject to change.
