DeepSeek Doubles AI API Prices with Peak/Off-Peak Tiers

DeepSeek is raising the price of its AI API with the launch of V4 Pro and V4 Flash, introducing peak and off-peak pricing starting Aug. 16: V4 Pro at $3.96 per 1M tokens at peak and $1.98 off-peak; V4 Flash at $1.32 peak and $0.66 off-peak. The hikes follow earlier promotional pricing, intended to allocate resources more reasonably, but DeepSeek remains cheaper than many rivals (Moonshot K3 at $15/1M; GPT-5.6 Sol at $30), though its Luna offering at $1.20/1M is even cheaper than V4 Flash at peak.

DeepSeek slashes V4-Pro price by 75% amid Huawei chip supply dynamics

Chinese AI startup DeepSeek will permanently cut its flagship V4-Pro AI model price by 75%, keeping costs at a quarter of the original and API pricing at 0.025–6 yuan per million tokens. DeepSeek did not specify whether the cut is tied to a higher Huawei Ascend 950 chip supply, but the move comes as Huawei’s AI chips and U.S. export controls shape China’s high-end compute access; when V4 was launched, Pro pricing was up to 12x Flash owing to limited compute, with expectations of steeper declines once Ascend 950 supernodes are deployed more broadly later this year.
