DeepSeek V4 has launched with unprecedented pricing, sparking shockwaves across the AI industry. The Flash variant costs just $0.14 per million input tokens and $0.28 per million output tokens, a dramatic reduction compared to the Pro version at $1.74 and $3.48 respectively. Despite the lower cost, DeepSeek V4 Flash matches the performance of V4 Pro in agent workflows, according to early reports. This price-performance breakthrough is hailed as a revolution for AI accessibility.
The news, shared via a video from channel peak-ai-de, highlights that DeepSeek V4 models are already available on Hugging Face. The pricing undercuts major competitors like OpenAI and Anthropic, potentially reshaping the economics of large language model deployment.
