First Squawk(@FirstSquawk):DeepSeek Raises AI Prices More Than Fourfold DeepSeek is sharply increasing prices for its flagship V4 AI models from August 16, moving its costs closer to those of major competitors. The V4-Flash model will rise to $1.32 per million output tokens during peak hours, from $0.28 previously, while V4-Pro will increase to $3.96, from $0.87. DeepSeek says the new dynamic pricing is intended to better allocate computing resources and encourage users to shift workloads to off-peak periods. Despite the increases, its services remain cheaper than some rivals, but the move could ease concerns over the impact of DeepSeek’s ultra-low pricing on the broader AI industry.
