DeepSeek made a 75 percent model discount permanent
DeepSeek will keep prices for its flagship V4-Pro model at one quarter of their original level. The company said that in a statement reported by Reuters on Saturday. That turns a temporary discount into the normal price. DeepSeek's API pricing page says prices vary by peak and off-peak hours and warns that product prices can change.

The permanence and 75 percent figure are company claims reported by Reuters. A posted token price does not show service capacity, model quality or the full cost of using the system. DeepSeek's pricing page also reserves the right to adjust prices again.
Rival API price changes will show whether this starts another price round. Usage growth, rate limits and service reliability will show whether the lower price creates more durable demand or shifts costs into capacity limits.
