This whole article is built off using DeepSeek R1, which is a huge premise that I don't think is correct. DeepSeek is much more efficient and I don't think it's a valid way to estimate what OpenAI and Anthropic's costs are.

Basically, DeepSeek is _very_ efficient at inference, and that was the whole reason why it shook the industry when it was released.
