    Grok it's really expensive. I'm getting really amazing results using DeepSeek 4.1 Flash for fraction of the price.

      What is the most secure way to use this model as someone who is lazy

        I understand DeepSeek 4.1 Flash is available on US providers with Zero Data Retention if that is what you are asking.

            openrouter, "together" provider is fastest (165 t/s at the time of writing) and has ZDR and all

              Sadly, there is no way to tell if this is running with real weights or being heavily quantized.

                just checked, yes they don&#x27;t seem to provide that information, most other providers are advertising &quot;fp8&quot; which is okay, but &quot;together&quot; doesn&#x27;t, so they are likely using fp4&#x2F;nvfp4
