DeepSeek has announced adjustments to its API pricing strategy, with the unit price for cache hits dropping to 0.02 yuan/1k tokens, a 50-fold difference compared to cache misses. The new pricing will take effect at 12:00 PM Beijing time on September 10. This adjustment primarily offers preferential rates for "cache hit" scenarios and introduces differentiated billing for peak and off-peak hours, aiming to target high-frequency calls and long-context scenarios to improve computing power utilization efficiency.
