> We plan to raise the overall pricing for DeepSeek API services in the near future, with a significant increase expected. Please plan your usage accordingly. The specific pricing plan will be subject to official notice.

This notice is making me nervous. After the GitHub Copilot exodus in April, I've been using DeepSeek-V4-Pro almost exclusively. Would hate to see it end.

Totally, it all comes to incentives. People just choose which poison to take.

ported to macos using raycast

```

#!/bin/bash

# Required parameters: # @raycast.schemaVersion 1 # @raycast.title Ask LLM # @raycast.mode fullOutput

# Optional parameters: # @raycast.icon # @raycast.argument1 { "type": "text", "placeholder": "Your question" }

# Documentation: # @raycast.author Your Name # @raycast.authorURL https://github.com/you

QUERY="$1" [ -z "$QUERY" ] && exit 0

FULL_QUERY="Answer in as little words as possible, concisely, for an intelligent person: $QUERY"

# URL encode (pure bash) encode_query() { local query="$1" local encoded="" local c for (( i=0; i<${#query}; i++ )); do c="${query:$i:1}" case $c in [a-zA-Z0-9.~_-]) encoded+="$c" ;; *) encoded+=$(printf '%%%02X' "'$c") ;; esac done echo "$encoded" }

ENCODED_QUERY=$(encode_query "$FULL_QUERY")

# Get response RESPONSE=$(curl -s "https://ch.at/?q=$ENCODED_QUERY")

# Output to Raycast echo "$RESPONSE"

# --- Optional: also pop up a big dialog --- osascript -e 'display dialog "'"$RESPONSE"'" buttons {"OK"} default button 1 with title "LLM Answer"'

```

is it a good idea to alias "dig @ch.at TXT +short" to a command say `c`

then use `c "the prompt"`

How long will the VScode wrapper (cursor, windsurf) survive?

Love to try the Claude Code VScode extension if the price is right and purchase-able from China.

I don't see any benefit in those VC funded wrappers over open source VS Code (or better, VSCodium) extensions like Roo/Cline.

They survive through VC funding, marketing, and inertia, I suppose.

Cline is VC funded.

Please give us a source as this does not seem publically verifiable.

Thank you! Very disappointing news.

VSCode is not open source. It is proprietary. code-oss is however an MIT-licensed project. VSCodium is also an MIT-licensed project.

what do you mean purchasable from china? As in you are based in china or is there a way to game the tokens pricing

Claude register need a phone number, but cannot select China (+86), and even if I have a account, it may hard to purchase because the credit card issue.

Some app like Windsurf can easily pay with Alipay, a everyone-app in China.

the Exploitation and exploration got me thinking, what if LLM generate, say, 5 results at a time and let user choose the best

I have that experience plenty with gpt and gemini
