DeepSeek launches V4 Pro at prices 14 times V4 Flash
DeepSeek is a company in China that makes smart computer programs called AI models.
These programs can understand text and help people do tasks.
DeepSeek just released a new, bigger version of its AI model.
It is called V4 Pro.
The company says this new model is better at helping with tasks, like a robot helper for the computer.
Using a very smart AI model costs money, like paying for electricity.
V4 Pro costs more money to use than DeepSeek's older model, V4 Flash.
In fact, it costs about nine times more to ask it questions and fourteen times more for its answers.
The new model is available to people through an app, a website, and a special program for developers called an API.
With this new model, DeepSeek wants to show it makes one of the best AI helpers around.
DeepSeek formally released its V4 Pro model on Thursday as a premium flagship offering.
V4-Pro-0813 is priced at $1.32 per million input tokens and $3.96 per million output tokens.
That is roughly 9 times V4 Flash's input price ($0.14) and 14 times its output price ($0.28).
DeepSeek said the new model substantially improves its capabilities for AI agents.
The model is available through DeepSeek's API, app and web products, according to pricing data from Artificial Analysis.
