WHAT CHANGEDOpenRouter changed pricing for deepseek/deepseek-pro-latest: prompt tokens decreased from $0.0000002528 to $0.00000025 per token (1% drop), completion tokens increased from $0.0000019584 to $0.0000035 per token (79% increase).
WHY IT MATTERSCompletion tokens are the bulk of cost in most workloads. A 79% increase on completions means total cost per request will rise substantially for any usage pattern that generates more than trivial output.
WHAT TO DOPull last 30 days of usage for this model, calculate new cost at the updated completion rate, and update your budget forecast. If cost increase is material, evaluate whether to pin to a specific non-latest DeepSeek model or switch providers.
