DeepSeek Makes Its V4 API Discount Permanent

Checked on July 1, 2026: DeepSeek's official X account published a permanent-discount update, and the current official Models & Pricing page still shows the lower DeepSeek V4 Flash and Pro token rates together with the existing 1M-context and 384K max-output contract.

What we verified on July 1, 2026

  • DeepSeek's official X account published a permanent-discount update and framed the price cut as an official DeepSeek API policy rather than a temporary teaser.
  • DeepSeek's current official Models & Pricing page still matches that lower-rate posture: deepseek-v4-flash is listed at $0.0028 cache-hit input, $0.14 cache-miss input, and $0.28 output per 1M tokens, while deepseek-v4-pro is listed at $0.003625, $0.435, and $0.87 respectively.
  • The same current pricing page still keeps the wider V4 contract intact: OpenAI and Anthropic base URLs, 1M context length, 384K max output, and the current Flash/Pro concurrency caps.
  • The pricing page also still warns that product prices may vary, so this publish treats the permanent-discount message as the current official posture, not as a promise that rates can never change again.
  • This is API pricing news, not local storefront inventory news: it does not create any new Coding Plan card, stock guarantee, or SUBSCRIPTION_PLANS change.
