For example, `https://deepinfra.com/` which asks for $2.5 per million on output or https://nebius.com which asks for $2.4 per million output tokens.

As the sibling comment mentions, you're not getting anything production grade for less than $7 per million and that's on input and output.

Nebius is single digit TPS. 31 seconds to reply to "What's 1+1".

Hopefully Deepseek will make it out of their current situation because in a very ironic way, the thing the entire market lost its mind over is not actually usable at the pricing that drove the hype: https://openrouter.ai/deepseek/deepseek-r1

If you want reliable service you're going to pay more around $7~8 per million tokens. Sister commenters mention providers that are considered unstable https://openrouter.ai/deepseek/deepseek-r1

Well, it's $2.19 per million output tokens even directly on deepseek platform.
