DeepSeek Slashes LLM Prices by 50%, New Anthropic and Google Models Emerge

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

DeepSeek has significantly reduced its pricing by 50% for its DeepSeek V4.1 Flash and DeepSeek V4-Pro models, making them more competitive with offerings from Google and OpenAI. The DeepSeek V4.1 Flash is now priced at $0.15 per input million tokens, and the V4-Pro at $0.66 per input million tokens. This move is seen as a strategic play to gain market share, similar to DeepSeek's past pricing strategies. Additionally, new model identifiers for Anthropic's Claude Haiku 5.5 and Google's Gemini Nano Banana 2.1 have been observed, suggesting ongoing development in the LLM space. AI

IMPACT DeepSeek's aggressive price cuts may force competitors to re-evaluate their own pricing strategies and could accelerate adoption for cost-sensitive LLM applications.
