DeepSeek formalizes V4-Pro-0813 and resets API pricing
DeepSeek's peak and off-peak V4 API price schedule became active at 16:00 UTC on 16 August. V4-Pro-0813 now lists $0.022/$0.044 per million cache-hit input tokens, $0.66/$1.32 for cache-miss input, and $1.98/$3.96 for output at off-peak/peak rates; V4-Flash uses lower paired rates.
Why it matters: The change moves a scheduled price table into current production economics. A workload's bill now depends materially on model, UTC window, cache state, input volume, output volume, and concurrency rather than a single token price.
