But the numbers are fake, so it really doesn't mean much to reduce a fake number by 75%, it isn't an indicator that DeepSeek is beating anyone at anything.

    Cost to end consumer is not a fake number.

    What does that number meaningful represent as DeepSeek doing well?

    They can afford to lose more money on this? They have lower operating costs? They have a better way to make money of their users?

    It could indicate any/all/none of theses

    What does that number meaningful represent as DeepSeek doing well? I don't understand the question

    They can afford to lose more money on this? Yes They have lower operating costs? Yes They have a better way to make money of their users? They are not as profit motivated as their competition

    I don't think you understand Deepseek's role in the market. It's to intentionally undercut US providers.

    What do you mean by the numbers are fake? Are you saying the worth is over inflated? If that's the case, of course it is, none too different than virtually any other commodity.
