Open-source models offer dramatic cost-efficiency gains over proprietary AI

DeepSeek's V4 Flash model offers a significant cost-performance advantage over leading proprietary models, providing 41x more intelligence per dollar than Claude Opus and 44x more than GPT-5.5. Similarly, DeepSeek's V3.2 model demonstrates a 20x cost-efficiency improvement over GPT-5.6 Sol. MiniMax's M2.7 model also shows a notable 13x intelligence-per-dollar advantage compared to Claude Opus. These comparisons are based on independent data using consistent benchmarks and methodologies, highlighting the cost-effectiveness of self-hostable open-source models. AI
