DeepSeek raises prices, adding dynamic pricing, ahead of a potential IPO; V4-Flash output tokens go from $0.28/1M to $1.32 during peak hours and $0.66 off-peak (Saritha Rai/Bloomberg)
DeepSeek is moving V4 API pricing to peak and off-peak rates starting August 16.
V4-Flash output rises from $0.28 per million tokens to $1.32 at peak and $0.66 off-peak. DeepSeek said off-peak rates are 50% lower than peak, framing the change as a way to shift workloads by time of day. The Techmeme entry also notes Bloomberg’s IPO angle, but the excerpted material here centers on the API price update. Techmeme's note
