DeepSeek V4 Peak Valley Pricing Change

bel8

So DeepSeek v4 will cost 2x between 9:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 18:00, Beijing Time. This is UTC+8 so to get cheaper DeepSeek: - in London (BST / UTC+1): 11:00 to 02:00, and 05:00 to 07:00. - in NY (EDT / UTC-4): 06:00 to 21:00, and 00:00 to 02:00. - in California (PDT / UTC-7): 03:00 to 18:00, and 21:00 to 23:00. Subscription plans like OpenCode Go might not even pass down this 2x cost since most customers are EU/US.

For Berlin time (Germany, UTC+2, CEST), the 2x cost period is 03:00 - 06:00, and 08:00 - 12:00. 08:00 - 12:00 would have really hurt if prices were not ridiculously low to begin with.

I have not seen the official deepseek communication to this effect.

Yall trust LLM providers sweeping up keys and passwords? Sometimes you have a little .env file or config files in your repos that are not checked in... LLMs like to read that stuff and send it in. I don't trust any of the LLM providers, but less so the ones seated in China.

It's business at the end of the day. Don't get surprised if one day DeepSeek does a rug pull too.

This announcement also mentioned that they will release the next version (official non preview version) of v4 in mid July.

So for some time spans it goes from ridiculously cheap to just very very cheap? I support that and I see no problem whatsoever.

A bit weird that it also applies to weekends. I guess it helps not creating wrong incentives for companies, but it hurts open and personal projects a bit.
