There is a huge discussion online now bw Flash model performance & cost from DeepSeek V4, GLM-5.3 & Qwen-3.8.

Oddly, DSV4 is now the most expensive while GLM-5.3 is the cheapest & the most powerful. Qwen-3.8 Flash Next is somewhere in the middle. More cheap & effective models. https://t.co/n8Ww0CivO0 — via @tphuang

DeepSeek V4 price inversion versus GLM-5.3 power gap signals market disruption.
