Once the new prices are applied, we definitely need another cache discount notification.

It was fun while it lasted. There isn't really a reason to use DeepSeek anymore.

Bold of you to assume there’ll still be a peak hour at these prices 😭

Ds v4 pro compared with the previous price, there will be many fewer people using it. At present, this model has little improvement

Pretty reasonable pricing. I hope the other providers maintain the prices for Flash atleast.
That model at the old prices would be enough for me.

Isn’t V4 Flash way more expensive in off peak hours than it was before? Wasn’t it 0.14/0.0028/0.28?

New Pricing<br>V4 Flash ≈ GPT-5.4 Nano, but is more expensive than GPT-5.6 Luna / Luna Pro.<br>V4 Pro ≈ GPT-5.4 Mini.<br>->If you're using V4 Flash, you'd be better off switching to GPT-5.6 Luna or Luna Pro. If you're using V4 Pro, you may not be completely satisfied with it.

DeepSeekの新価格、以前と比較して最大約12倍。8/16より。まだ中華AIでは最安水準は変わらないが、以前のようなタダ同然とはいかず。
実は一番影響が出るキャッシュヒットの部分でPro、Flashとも 最も値上げしてるのがポイント。ピークでも最大5倍程度か、と思っていると想定を越えるので注意を。
DeepSeekが安く使えていたのは、出力や入力でばなくキャッシュヒットが極端に安かったからです。

I used to have a system that categorized tens of thousands of articles. Unfortunately, the current pricing no longer makes it viable.. 🫤
