DeepSeek cuts V4 Pro prices 75 percent, widening cost gap with U.S. top-tier models

Chinese AI startup DeepSeek has formalised a 75 percent price cut for its flagship V4 Pro model, moving the discount from a promotion to its official price. A third-party benchmarker rated V4 Pro among the top global models for “intelligence” per dollar. DeepSeek says its API prices are $0.0036 per 1 million cached input tokens and $0.87 per 1 million output tokens. A benchmark test cost about $268, versus about 12 times more for OpenAI’s GPT-5.5 and about 19 times more for Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.7.
