DeepSeek is sharply raising prices for its V4 models starting Aug. 16.
V4-Flash output pricing during peak hours rises to $1.32 per 1M tokens from $0.28, more than 4x higher.
V4-Pro will cost $3.96 per 1M output tokens at peak vs. $0.87 currently.
Off-peak pricing will be half those rates, as DeepSeek shifts to dynamic pricing to move usage away from congested periods.
