WHAT CHANGEDOpenRouter changed pricing for deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro-0813: prompt tokens decreased from $0.000000264 to $0.00000024502 per token (7% drop), completion tokens increased from $0.000000792 to $0.0000035 per token (342% increase). Maximum completion tokens increased from 384,000 to 943,718.
WHY IT MATTERSCompletion tokens cost 4.4x more than before. Applications generating long outputs will see material cost increases: a 100k token completion that cost $0.08 now costs $0.35. The higher output limit enables longer generations but at the new rate.
