The Chinese government has deep pockets. They can probably run at a loss for a long time and don't have to worry about it.
It's not as cheap as Deepseek's own API offering, but there are multiple providers on Openrouter who are serving Flash V4 at an extremely low price. Is the Chinese government also subsidizing them?
