Well consumers care about the cost to them, and those we know. And deepseek is destroying everything in that department.

Third party providers are still cheap though. The closed models are the ones where you can't see the real cost to running them.
Not sure the Chinese taxpayer is footing the bill though - of course, it might not be net zero, there might be secondary effects, etc.
A few days ago I read an article saying the Chinese utilities have a pricing structure that favors high-tech industries (say, an AI data center), making the difference by charging more the energy-intensive but less sophisticated industries (an aluminium smelter, for example).
Admittedly, there are some advantages when you do central and long-term economic planning.
Yes. Though we don't know for sure whether that's because they actually have lower costs, or whether it's just the Chinese taxpayer being forced to serve us a treat.
