Openrouter's pricing via the deepseek provider is the same as the official deepseek api for both flash and pro and for cached and uncached tokens. It's literally the same api.
And no, cache rates are not different if you're going through the official deepseek provider. The only way caching rates can drop is if you let openrouter fully control routing by preferring uptime or something, and then it might bounce you between providers. But you can control which providers for a given model are in its routing pool and stop that.
Did you read the blog post? They compare to deepswe and call it out as the worst one for false positives (failed, but the benchmark assessed it as correct). It also has less language variance.
This isn't how LLMs work. They aren't self aware like this, they're trained on the general internet. They might have some pointers to documentation for certain cases, but they generally aren't going to have specialized knowledge of themselves embedded within. Claude code has no need to know about its own internal programming, the core loop is just javascript code.
This take sucks. The anticheat software in this context is for competitive games. No one cares about people cheating in isolation in single player games. The anticheat is to stop 1 guy from ruining it for the 9 others he's playing with online.
You can argue about the methods used for anticheat, but your comment here is trying to defend the right to cheat in online games with other people. Just no.
Honeycomb is inspired by Facebook's Scuba (https://research.facebook.com/publications/scuba-diving-into...). The paper is from 2013, predating honeycomb. Charity worked there as well, but presumably was not part of the initial implementation given the timing.
