I think that OpenAI should reduce the prices even further to be competitive with Qwen or Deepseek. There are a lot of vendors offering Deepseek R1 for $2-2.5 per 1 million tokens output.

Would you have specific recommendations of such vendors?

[chad1n]

For example, `https://deepinfra.com/` which asks for $2.5 per million on output or https://nebius.com which asks for $2.4 per million output tokens.

If you want reliable service you're going to pay more around $7~8 per million tokens. Sister commenters mention providers that are considered unstable https://openrouter.ai/deepseek/deepseek-r1

Well, it's $2.19 per million output tokens even directly on deepseek platform.
