DeepSeek just unleashed V4-Flash, the cheapest major AI model on the market at just three cents per benchmark test—way cheaper than rivals like Kimi K3 and GPT-5.6 Sol. While its official pricing is 14 cents per million input tokens and 28 cents for output, cost-efficiency matters more than sticker price. It scores a solid 50/100 on the Intelligence Index, tied with Gemini 3.6 Flash and trailing top-tier models. But DeepSeek’s big play? A forthcoming V4-Pro and a $7B funding round to keep prices low and scale fast—perfect for high-volume apps like customer chatbots. And yes, AI costs are falling everywhere, including OpenAI.
