DeepSeek to get a significant price hike soon
DeepSeek, famous for its cheap AI services, is about to become less cheap.
DeepSeek, a Chinese AI firm, is set to raise its prices for AI services, according to Bloomberg. The company has issued a warning to users regarding the significant increase, although the exact magnitude remains undisclosed. DeepSeek is renowned for its budget-friendly offerings, particularly in comparison to its global competitors.
Currently, DeepSeek charges less than a dollar per million input and output tokens, a stark contrast to Anthropic's Fable 5 model, which costs $10 for input and $50 for output tokens. The cost disparity may have become unsustainable for DeepSeek, especially with plans to construct a substantial data center in Inner Mongolia. However, the reality is that not even AI services, which are driving up costs across various industries, remain immune to price hikes.
