NetEase LobsterAI releases second China office Agent user behaviour report
Cache hit rate alone is a poor proxy for cost: models with nearly identical hit rates showed a more than seven-fold gap in what users actually paid versus list price, making DeepSeek's pricing structure unusually favourable for long agent tasks. Teams deploying office agents in China can use the per-model effective-cost figures to pick cheaper backends, with LobsterAI reachable via desktop, WeChat and Feishu. The report is self-reported product data, so treat the absolute numbers as one product's view rather than market-wide evidence.
