UnverifiedThe reason for a 10x billing gap (rather than 4x) is that output tokens account for a higher proportion of the tokens consumed by Claude Code, combined with a lower cache hit rate.69% similarUnverifiedThe Claude Code + DeepSeek solution achieves quality close to the Opus level, reaching 88%–90% accuracy through prompt optimization, and is more than 30 times cheaper than Opus.63% similarUnverifiedClaude Code's fast mode is 2.5 times faster, costs approximately three times less than before, and token consumption when processing PDFs and charts is 61% lower than the previous generation.59% similarUnverifiedUsing a prompt that simply says 'write less code' can reduce code volume by 33%, but the security metric drops to 95%.58% similarUnverifiedThe combination of knowledge distillation and structural pruning can retain 80%–90% of a flagship model's core capabilities at a smaller parameter count while requiring only 20%–30% of the inference cost.58% similar
