A billion tokens for ten dollars
October 19, 2026
For value for money, nothing beats DeepSeek. Where else can you get a billion proper, usable tokens for $10?
And it's so fast that ten of my agents blasted through a fucking billion tokens in a couple of hours.
With Claude (Opus 5.4 on the x20 subscription), the same thing took all day and cost about the same.
Codex (6.1 Sol, $200 subscription) ate through the weekly limit in a couple of days, barely managing 300M a day.
So my goal now is ten billion tokens a day. Developer productivity is measured in tokens these days, right?
But I don't have that kind of cash!
