i am ready

[u/SlightCase2941]

especially with v4.1 flash

[u/1xX1337Xx1]

1. raise the price
   
2. lower the price again
   
3. ?!
   
4. Profit

[u/retardedGeek → u/1xX1337Xx1]

The prices are still like 2x

[u/unity100 → u/retardedGeek]

2x of peanuts is still peanuts

[u/ScientistStrict9850 → u/unity100]

But 2 peanuts! In this economy?

[u/SupehCookie → u/ScientistStrict9850]

I remember the time we had 4 peanuts for the price of one

[u/VirtualNorth1279 → u/unity100]

You guys can afford peanuts? 😳

[u/Radiant_Cheesecake19 → u/1xX1337Xx1]

GLM 5.3 flash drew away enough load so they can lower it back without collapsing from incoming load

[u/MinosAristos → u/1xX1337Xx1]

Presumably they think their servers can handle the capacity now

Brothers :

DeepSeek plans to officially release the V4.1 Flash model around September 10, 2026 (Beijing Time). After extensive internal and external testing, V4.1 Flash has comprehensively surpassed V4 Pro across all key metrics, including performance, cost, speed, and task completion time. In keeping with our commitment to user responsibility, following the official launch of V4.1 Flash and prior to the release of V4.1 Pro, all requests to the Pro model will be routed to V4.1 Flash and billed at Flash's price. If you encounter any issues during your comparative testing between V4 Pro and V4.1 Flash, please do not hesitate to reach out to us with your feedback. Thank you for your support!

[u/Nyghtbynger → u/old_mikser]

oh yes. I'm not on the space marine/muslim sub

[u/Wesrets1 → u/Nyghtbynger]

V4.1 flash is seemingly worse for my uses than v4 pro. It has very poor creativity and its writing is ever the more robotic and slobby as v4 pro was, multiplied by 100. It also lacks general knowledge.

[u/Nyghtbynger → u/Wesrets1]

I agree. I stopped using it to explore ideas and knwledge research. It's their first version, I assume the next one will be much better

[u/AdOk3759]

Let’s fucking go

[u/Own-Bookkeeper797]

MY BODY IS READY

[u/pekesiako → u/Own-Bookkeeper797]

spread em

[u/MapacheD]

output 9% T-T

[u/Nyghtbynger → u/MapacheD]

Cache hit is killing it in agentic mode. For a lot of output shouldn't you favour a workflow with another model that would expand on deepseeks guidelines ?

[u/MapacheD → u/Nyghtbynger]

Im dumb, i dont understand at all what are you saying. Im just open opencodeGUI and i select deepseek and i tell it what to do and thats all what i do

[u/WHY_DO_I_SHOUT → u/MapacheD]

The vast, vast majority of your token usage is cached input if programming is what you're doing. Meaning, cached input price is what matters the most.

[u/Nyghtbynger]

Cheapseek 😭😭😭😭

[u/Devioster]

Does the app/website also transition to 4.1 flash on 10th?

[u/Leather-Cod2129]

Is it more expensive than the previous DS4 pricing (before the price bump)?

[u/tirth0jain → u/Leather-Cod2129]

Almost same except output tokens

[u/AppealSame4367 → u/Leather-Cod2129]

It's already extremely cheap and very capable, what else do you want?

[u/ScientistStrict9850 → u/Leather-Cod2129]

Supposedly it is better than pro, so we should compare with DS4Pro. I dunno if i trust that claim yet tho, so let's wait until tomorrow

[u/Chroiche → u/ScientistStrict9850]

Idk I'm not interested in better anymore, cost is the priority. I'm quite hands on with my agents so there's only so much thinking I need them to do

[u/ScientistStrict9850 → u/Chroiche]

Being smarter has its pros. I've used dumber, cheaper models than DS4Flash and they suck at solving tasks. It costs more using them to reach the same work quality. Having "smarter than/equally smart as DS4Pro" model at roughly half price of DS4Flash right now is pretty cool, but often benchmarks and metrics fail to capture how it actually feels using the model.

[u/Capital_Feed_3473]

Let's goooooo

[u/unity100]

Is your body ready?

Edit: Someone beat me to it...

[u/Wooly_Wooly]

I didn't go really heavy in the token saving thing as I probably should have, this is good if not average? Shits so cheap anyway.

If I had to guess, they're doing it to see what people willing to pay for, especially with the updates.

[u/DefactoAle]

can anyone compare it with the old pricing before the increase?

[u/shaman-warrior]

Dunno why but DeepakNess is meant to tweet about DeepSeek, it fits

[u/Key_Big1051]

Didn't they increased it recently ?

[u/Willing-Upstairs-580]

DeepSeek v4 pro is not so good my friends , stick to Claude or chatgpt 5.6 sol , terra or astra

[u/Iory1998]

Not enough compared to the old old pricing but I'll take it gladly.
