Questions

Which should I use, DeepSeek: DeepSeek V4 Flash 0423 or SpaceXAI: Grok Build 0.1?

Is DeepSeek: DeepSeek V4 Flash 0423 or SpaceXAI: Grok Build 0.1 cheaper?

The current cheapest TrustedRouter route is $0.24898/1M for DeepSeek: DeepSeek V4 Flash 0423 and $3.165/1M for SpaceXAI: Grok Build 0.1. The comparison uses current catalog prices and updates as provider pricing changes.

Is DeepSeek: DeepSeek V4 Flash 0423 or SpaceXAI: Grok Build 0.1 faster?

Current measured p50 time to first token is 1188 ms for DeepSeek: DeepSeek V4 Flash 0423 and 1137 ms for SpaceXAI: Grok Build 0.1. These are routed probe measurements, not vendor-advertised speeds, and update as new samples arrive.

Can I test DeepSeek: DeepSeek V4 Flash 0423 and SpaceXAI: Grok Build 0.1 with the same API?

Yes. Use the same OpenAI-compatible TrustedRouter base URL and API key, then change only the model id between deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash and x-ai/grok-build-0.1. This makes side-by-side evals possible without maintaining two provider integrations.
