Earlier today I saw that the 17 October release of Deepseek v4 Flash is even more efficient than previous versions, [threatening dominance of american AI labs.](https://georgzoeller.com/blog/posts/chinese-flash-models-are-the-coup-de-gr-ce-for-us-ai-lab-investor-fantasies/)
Someone asked me about my current setup, as they burn through their weekly AI plan quickly. I did a shallow dive in the costs of the larger open weight model I use online. I didn’t use much local tokens this week, see below for my local setup this month.

I will try the latest Deepseek as soon as my current inference provider has it up and running, probably somewhere later this week.
## GLM 5.3 what does it cost for a coding agent, with Zero Data Retention in Europe?
