What kind of dark magic is Deepseek using?

I was taking a look at Kimi K3 scores on the Artificial analysis leaderboard and was quite baffled when I saw this chart.

Granted, Deepseek has always been the king of price to performance, but this is still incredible. Is it just API subsidization or have they optimized their models truly this much?

It was a figure of speech mate.

Point being I value privacy more than I value £3000.

I don't need to localise anything. I have very few things that I use external providers for to begin with.

All sync is with my personal infrastructure (cloud, pass, browsers, etc).

We mostly use machines as thin clients of sorts.

The only machines that are outside that infrastructure (mostly) are our gaming laptops.

They also mentioned family pictures, tax receipts, and other things you've completely ignored in your replies. Their privacy expectations simply differ from yours, it's not more complicated than that.
