I wasn't expecting for my comment to be red so literally but ok.

We're talking about the most cost-efficient model, the competition here is on price, not on a 12% incremental performance (which would make sense for the high end model).

To my knowledge deepseek is the cheaper service which is what matters on the low-end (unless the increase in performance was in such magnitude that the extra-charge would be worth the money).

What does deepseek have to do with a comparison between o1-mini and o3-mini?

I'm not sure I follow - your assertion was that 12% is significative.

I personally chose for price on a low-cost model (unless the improvement is to significant that it justifies the higher price).
