| Model | Blended change | Blended price per 1M | Input / output | Why it moved |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 DeepSeek | +238.7% | $0.07 → $0.23 | -47.5% / +300.0% | Outlier reseller. Unrepresentative price: the rate we quote is a single reseller's, with input near free and output at or above what other hosts charge. Most sellers did not move like this. Check vendor rate. Large move: worth confirming against the vendor's own rate card before you act on it. Mixed direction. Input and output moved in opposite directions, so the effect on your bill depends on your token mix. |
