This is the notice from DeepSeek regarding their API:
We will adjust the pricing for the Flash series effective from 12:00 Beijing Time on September 10, 2026. During off-peak hours, the unit price will be $0.003 for input cache hits, $0.15 for input cache misses, and $0.6 for output. Peak-hour prices will be double the off-peak rates. Please plan your usage accordingly.

Direct 1:1:1 comparison, for V4.1 Flash - V4 Pro 0813 - V4 Flash 0731
Input cache hits (per 1m tokens) - $0.003 Vs. $0.022 Vs. $0.007
Input cache miss (per 1m tokens) - $0.15 Vs. $0.66 Vs. $0.22
Output (per 1m tokens) - $0.6 Vs. $1.98 Vs. $0.66
This is taken from https://api-docs.deepseek.com/quick_start/pricing, and it's comparing only off-peak hours pricing. It looks like V4.1 Flash is cheaper than the current 0731 flash model, and much cheaper than the current V4 Pro model.

You're comparing different providers then. DeepSeek price on OpenRouter is $0.66 output.
Yes, and? This is their current off-peak pricing for their flash model [0]: $0.007 cache, $0.22 input, $0.66.
0.007 -> 0.003
0.22 -> 0.15
0.66 -> 0.60
Each one is now cheaper.
