A bootcamp graduate developed a chatbot app serving about 200 users daily and faced high AI API costs using GPT-4o. By switching to the DeepSeek V4 Flash model through Global API, they reduced their API costs by approximately 94% without noticeable quality loss. The Global API platform provided affordable pricing, international payment options, multi-model access with one API key, and predictable budgeting, enabling sustainable scaling and development.
