Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek has permanently cut the application programming interface (API) price of its flagship DeepSeek-V4-Pro model by 75%, escalating competition with both domestic and overseas rivals.
The company said on May 22 that a temporary promotional discount for developers would become its standard pricing tier. The move lowers the cache-miss input cost for the V4-Pro model to 3 yuan ($0.44) per million tokens, less than one-tenth of the roughly $5 charged for OpenAI’s GPT-5.5 and well below the $0.95 charged by Chinese rival Kimi.
