Personally, in the six months prior to the release of the deepseekv3 api, I'd made probably 100-200 api calls per month to llm services. In the past week I made 2.8 million api calls to dsv3.
Processing each english (word, part-of-speech, sense) triple in various ways. Generating (very silly) example sentences for each triple in various styles. Generating 'difficulty' ratings for each triple. Two examples:
High difficulty:
id = 37810
word = dendroid
pos = noun
sense = (mathematics) A connected continuum that is arcwise connected and hereditarily unicoherent.
elo = 2408.61936886416
sentence2 = The dendroid, that arboreal structure of the Real, emerges not as a mere geometric curiosity but as the very topology of desire, its branches both infinite and indivisible, a map of the unconscious where every detour is already inscribed in the unicoherence of the subject's jouissance.
Low difficulty:
id = 11910
word = bed
pos = noun
sense = A flat, soft piece of furniture designed for resting or sleeping.
elo = 447.32459484266
sentence2 = The city outside my window never closed its eyes, but I did, sinking into the cold embrace of a bed that smelled faintly of whiskey and regret.
