Hi people, just wanted to ask if anyone has had any experiences running the paid version of DeepSeek as their daily AI driver? It’s pricing is almost 30 times lower than ChatGPT for example, so looking into it seriously as a study/coding aid.

Thanks for the details! I wasn’t planning on going that elaborate, since for now I don’t have any big projects in mind. Just to get some study support mainly.
You’ve obviously given a lot of thought to your setup, what do you build with it if you don’t mind me asking?
Over the last 3 months I have been working on my own agentic editor. Hope to make the code available within the next 2 weeks. So right now is mostly Claude Code and my own editor (named codemeld). Before that it was Claude Code and Open code.
For PRD I created a PRD framework PRDwise. That has worked well for me and plan to make that into a community. I have really bee focusing most of my pare time on the editor, but want to get back to the PRD framework soon to make it more multi-user friendly (i.e. so can be used by a team instead of a single individual).
In that case, and it depends exactly on your needs, you may to consider something bigger than DSF 0731. If you find that DSF 0731 can’t handle something you could give GLM 5.3 a try. It is more expensive, but still reasonable. Or if you can afford it, the lowest tier of Claude plans is a reasonable value for casual use.
Very helpful, thank you!
