DeepSeek Pro Latest pricing and output limits changed
OpenRouter model catalogue · published 2026-09-25 03:50 UTC
WHAT CHANGEDEffective now: prompt pricing decreased from $0.0000003498 to $0.00000026 per token (26% reduction). Completion pricing increased from $0.0000010494 to $0.0000035 per token (233% increase). Maximum completion tokens increased from 393,216 to 943,718 tokens (140% increase).
WHY IT MATTERSApplications generating long outputs will see significantly higher costs despite cheaper prompts. A 100K token completion now costs $0.35 instead of $0.10. The higher output limit enables longer generations but at the new rate.
WHAT TO DOCalculate actual cost impact using your prompt-to-completion ratio from logs. If completions dominate your token usage, reforecast monthly spend and update budgets. Consider capping max_tokens in requests if the new limit exceeds your use case.
