    Do they charge below their cost? Or do they run their own cache?<p>Vercel cache read: $0.01/M for flash, $0.14/M for pro.<p>Deepseek and OpenRouter cache read: $0.028/M for flash, $0.145 for pro.<p>That's a 64% discount on Vercel for flash, and a 3% discount for pro.<p>Links: Vercel - https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/models OpenRouter - https://openrouter.ai/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash
