DeepSeek: AI news and API prices

www.deepseek.comtheir newsroomall DeepSeek news

DeepSeek is the Chinese lab whose published API prices sit an order of magnitude below the American frontier labs for work of a broadly similar kind. It sells no consumer subscription this site tracks, so it appears here as prices and announcements rather than as a plan. Its price page is short, dated and unusually plain, which makes it one of the easier vendors in this ledger to quote exactly.
