AI summary iconSummary
DeepSeek plans to increase API pricing, with a significant hike expected. The final pricing and effective date will be announced later. Earlier reports suggested a peak-time pricing model, with rates potentially doubling during high-demand hours. However, the official pricing page still displays flat rates. Traders monitoring altcoins to watch may need to adjust their strategies. Market sentiment, as indicated by the Fear & Greed Index, remains mixed.

ChainThink reports that on August 6, DeepSeek notified its open platform users of an upcoming comprehensive price increase for its API services, with an expected significant rise; specific details and the effective date will be announced separately.

Previously circulated notices indicated that DeepSeek had planned to implement peak and off-peak pricing; during Beijing Time hours of 9:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 18:00, API prices could rise to twice the normal rate.

As of now, the official DeepSeek pricing page still charges a flat rate and has not yet listed peak-time pricing.
