Firm rents 4x Nvidia H200s, finds DeepSeek '80x cheaper' claim fails

The Call Center Doctors rented a 4x H200 box on Sept. 27 to run DeepSeek V4.1 Flash for its Claude Code agents instead of Opus 5.5. At $440.88 per day on-demand, the box cost more than DeepSeek's API ($184–223) and the firm's $5,500 September Claude subscription, with 96% of tokens spent re-reading stale context.
