Benchmarking China's Top 4 LLMs: DeepSeek Leads on Price and Coding
A developer benchmarked DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, and GLM across 200 prompts, measuring latency, throughput, cost, and quality. DeepSeek V4 Flash scored highest in coding (89% HumanEval) and throughput (58 tokens/sec) at $0.25 per million output tokens. Kimi was 12x more expensive than GLM-4-9B without clear quality justification.

The pricing gap between Chinese LLMs is wider than performance differences, suggesting cost—not capability—will drive enterprise adoption.
