DeepSeek confirmed on May 22 that its promotional V4-Pro discount is now permanent. New pricing: $0.435/M cache-miss input tokens and $0.87/M output tokens — roughly 11.5× cheaper than GPT-5.5 on input and 34.5× cheaper on output. This targets the frontier capability tier directly (V4-Pro scores 80.6% on SWE-bench), not the budget segment, making it a serious cost alternative for high-volume production workloads. The promotional deadline had been May 31.
