DeepSeek looks 10× cheaper at API rates, but could cost me more than my Codex sub. Take a task costing $2 with Sol 6.1 versus $0.20 with DeepSeek direct.

If my $200 Codex sub gives me ~50× the API value at my actual usage, that Sol task works out to ~$0.04. At ~25× if the allowance halves, it's ~$0.08. DeepSeek would then cost 2.5–5× more per task. Do other DeepSeek users see the same?
