DeepSeek introduces its new AI model with a 75 percent discount
Chinese AI startup DeepSeek has announced a significant 75% discount for developers on its newly released DeepSeek-V4-Pro model, a promotion running until May 5. The new model, which includes versions optimized for Huawei systems, has demonstrated top-tier performance in benchmarks, trailing only Google’s Gemini-Pro-3.1 among open-source competitors. In addition to the price cut, the company has reduced API caching costs tenfold to attract users building complex AI agents. However, this aggressive market move comes amid warnings from the U.S. State Department regarding alleged intellectual property theft by Chinese AI firms.
The Chinese company "DeepSeek" is offering developers a 75 percent discount on its recently introduced "DeepSeek-V4-Pro" artificial intelligence model. This promotion is scheduled to run until May 5. Ixbt.com reports on this.
The company also reduced the cost of input data caching for all API models by 10 times at once. The "V4" model, introduced last Friday, is optimized for "Huawei" systems, and its powerful "Pro" and lightweight "Flash" versions have been released.
In conducted tests, the "Pro" version showed high results among open-source models, trailing only the "Google Gemini-Pro-3.1" model. According to the startup, the new models are very convenient for working with artificial intelligence agents that perform complex tasks.
At the same time, the US State Department issued a warning about attempts by Chinese companies, including "DeepSeek", to steal intellectual property from American laboratories.
