Chinese artificial intelligence company DeepSeek announced significant price cuts for its latest technology model, providing developers with substantial savings through early May.
The company revealed it will offer a 75% price reduction on its recently launched AI model, DeepSeek-V4-Pro, with the discount available until May 5th. Additionally, DeepSeek announced it will reduce costs for input cache hits throughout its complete API product line to just one-tenth of the previous pricing, according to a company announcement on social media platform X.
The tech startup unveiled a preview of its eagerly awaited V4 model on Friday, which has been specifically designed to work with Huawei’s semiconductor technology.
The V4 system is available in two different configurations: the Pro version, which offers enhanced capabilities at a higher cost, and the Flash option, which provides a more streamlined and budget-friendly alternative.
DeepSeek claims its Pro version surpasses other open-source models in global knowledge testing, with only Google’s proprietary Gemini-Pro-3.1 achieving better performance results.
The Chinese technology company states that its V4 models are especially designed for AI agent applications, which can handle more sophisticated operations compared to standard chatbots but demand increased computational resources.
