DeepSeek<\/a> is leaning hard into being the “cost-effective” choice for AI agents. According to its website<\/a>, the Chinese startup is dropping the price for its latest flagship model, DeepSeek V4 Pro, to a fourth of its original price. This latest price update makes permanent the 75 percent discount promotion that was previously supposed to end on May 31, 2026.<\/p>\n

As seen on the website’s pricing page, the DeepSeek V4 Pro prices now range from $0.003625 to $0.87 per one million tokens, compared to the previous range between $0.0145 to $3.48 for every million tokens. The company’s decision to permanently reduce the price comes a month after it released its V4 models, Pro and Flash<\/a>, which it claimed would welcome the “era of cost-effective 1M context length.”<\/p>\n

DeepSeek’s deep discounts should prove to be a major cost savings for enterprise accounts or power users who go through millions of tokens in a day. The major price drop also presents a more affordable alternative to other popular AI models,\u00a0like OpenAI’s GPT-5 or the recently released Gemini 3.5 Flash<\/a> from Google. DeepSeek’s price undercutting might provoke competitors, like Anthropic, who previously accused the\u00a0Chinese company of “distillation attacks<\/a>” that improperly learn from Claude’s more capable\u00a0AI models.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The lower prices could be aimed at undercutting the competition.
