About 3x increase. Luna is now a much better deal. Hope they don't increase their prices in response.
Flavius•44m ago
Why not? They probably only offered those deals because of DeepSeek aggressive pricing. Now that DeepSeek is 3x more expensive it's time to revert those discounts.

Tibo said it’s permanent, whatever that means
cmrdporcupine•15m ago
Luna vs v4 Flash, sure.

But DeepSeek v4 Pro is a far more capable model and still cheaper than anything that it competes with, from what I can see.

petercooper•47m ago
As well as the headline in/out changes, people heavily using agentic coding tools will want to note the 6x (off peak) and 12x (peak) increase to cache hit pricing on Pro (since cache hit can easily make up 90%+ of input on long sessions).

DeepSeek was hugely underpricing cache hit pricing before and even after this increase they're still cheaper on that metric than every other provider I'm aware of, but it will put an end to those "I used 1 billion tokens and spent $4" reports.

This now places deepseek flash v4 from DeepSeek themselves at higher prices than openrouter (depending on caching). Will be interesting to see if third party prices remain the same.
cmrdporcupine•6m ago
It does seem to me that DeepSeek themselves aren't so much interested in being a service provider. They do it, and offer the service, but their pronouncements seem to be that they're more interested in being for now closer to a research lab with a longer term play for something more dramatic later.
