After trying many AI platforms recently, I increasingly feel that:

The most important thing in the future is not the model, but the entry point.
Because ordinary users don't really care about parameters; they care about three things:
Ease of use, speed, and cost.
Recently launched DeepSeek-V4-Pro and Flash, which basically cover these issues.
Pro is suitable for complex tasks, while Flash focuses on low latency and rapid response, making it easy to switch between different scenarios.
The key is that it integrates models like DeepSeek, GPT, and Claude into one platform.
No need to switch accounts everywhere, and no need to recharge repeatedly.
Plus, new users now get 500k points for free, and recharges come with an additional 1:1 bonus, which really lowers the experience barrier.
Many people may not realize that the real competition in the AI market moving forward is likely user retention and daily usage frequency.
And reducing costs is the most direct way.
From this perspective, the current approach is actually quite clear.
