With the rapid development of AI technology, DeepSeek recently issued a series of important notices involving API recharge services and product price adjustments. These changes not only reflect the company's current operating conditions, but also reveal the challenges of AI service providers in resource allocation and market pricing.
DeepSeek issued an important notice today that due to tight server resources, API recharge service will be suspended from now on. The company said that the user's existing account balance can still be used, but new recharges will not be accepted yet.
Meanwhile, DeepSeek also announced plans to adjust its product prices. The discount period for the DeepSeek-chat model will end at 24:00 on February 8, 2025. After the offer expires, the model will implement a new price standard: input tokens is charged at 2 yuan per million, and output tokens is 8 yuan per million.
In addition, the newly launched DeepSeek-reasoner model adopts a higher pricing strategy, with input and output tokens charged at 4 yuan and 16 yuan per million respectively.
This series of adjustments reflects the resource pressure faced by AI service providers and the dynamic trend of market pricing.
DeepSeek's adjustment reminds us that the advancement of AI technology is accompanied by the increase in costs and the optimized allocation of resources. Users need to pay more attention to the balance of price and performance when choosing services.
