In the bustling heart of China, where the air is thick with ambition and the scent of fried dumplings, a curious tale unfolds. DeepSeek, a sprightly startup in the realm of Artificial Intelligence, has decided to play a game of hide-and-seek with its customers. Yes, dear reader, they’ve put a cap on access to their prized Application Programming Interface, or API, as the tech-savvy folks like to call it. Apparently, the demand was so high that it threatened to burst at the seams like an overstuffed baozi.
With a flourish of digital ink, the company announced on its website that customers could no longer just waltz in and add credits to their accounts. No, no! They must now tiptoe around the limitations, lest they disturb the delicate balance of their server’s sanity. But fear not, for the credits already nestled in their accounts are safe and sound, like a cat curled up in a sunbeam. “The existing recharge amount can continue to be used, please understand,” they said, as if we were all just a tad too dim to grasp the situation.
It seems that when DeepSeek’s AI chatbot made its grand debut in late January, it was like throwing a steak to a pack of hungry wolves. The demand surged, and suddenly, everyone wanted a piece of this chatbot that claimed to rival the likes of OpenAI’s ChatGPT. And at a price that wouldn’t make your wallet weep! Who wouldn’t want a bargain in this day and age?
Initially, the gates were only open to those with a China phone number, as if they were guarding a secret recipe for the perfect dumpling. But as word spread of its capabilities—like a rumor in a small town—the chatbot became the talk of the digital marketplace, drawing in curious souls eager to experience its wonders.
Yet, as with all good things, the party must come to an end. DeepSeek, the crafty merchant, has announced that the discounts on its AI model will vanish into thin air come February 8. After that, accessing the chatbot will cost you 2 yuan per million input tokens and 8 yuan per million output tokens. And just when you think it can’t get any better, they tease us with the promise of a reasoning model, which will set you back a whopping 4 yuan per million input tokens and 16 yuan per million output tokens. It’s like watching a game of poker where the stakes keep rising, and you’re left wondering if you should fold or go all in.
