## The update

DeepSeek has officially announced a permanent price reduction strategy for the DeepSeek-V4-Pro model API. Once the current 75% discount offer concludes on May 31, the billing standard will be adjusted to one-quarter of the original pricing, effectively making the previous limited-time discount rate the new normal. The updated rates are set as follows: 0.025 yuan per million tokens for cache-hit inputs, 3 yuan per million tokens for cache-miss inputs, and 6 yuan per million tokens for outputs. This move aims to significantly lower the entry barrier and operational costs for developers, making high-performance model services more affordable.
