Flash on it's own is not a very competitive model, it's pricing is within ranges of everything else on the market.

Probably the most direct competitor of Flash model :

GPT 5.4 mini

Cache Read $0.075 /M tokens

Gemini 3 flash :

Cache Read $0.05 /M tokens

e.g nothing very magical or ground breaking.

Cache read for dp4-flash is $0.0028 /M tokens, which is more than 10 times cheaper (and also much cheaper for cache miss and output tokens).

Have not actually compared it to other models, but I would not consider it in the same price range.

this price only available if you ok to send your data to Beijing Volcano Engine Technology Co. for the rest open router vendors it is not the same.

Not sure why you are downvoted, this is essentially correct (assuming Volcano Engine tech refers to Deepseek as provider).
