Chinese artificial intelligence<\/span> start-up DeepSeek<\/span>’s latest flagship model has been ranked as one of the world’s best on an intelligence-per-dollar basis, far exceeding those from US heavyweights OpenAI and Anthropic in cost-efficiency after a 75 per cent promotional price cut was made permanent.<\/div>\n
The Hangzhou-based start-up announced the permanent price cut for its V4 Pro model on Saturday, a month after it released the long-awaited V4 generation<\/span>, which comprises the flagship V4 Pro model and its lighter variant, V4 Flash.<\/div>\n

The move reflects how Chinese companies are competing in the global AI race through a different approach from their US counterparts, which offer cutting-edge model capabilities at premium prices.<\/p>\n

According to third-party benchmark firm Artificial Analysis, the price cut places V4 Pro at the global frontier for cost-efficiency, based on an assessment of the amount of “intelligence” one can extract per dollar.<\/p>\n

Amid a global compute supply crunch that has pushed up prices for the most advanced models, the bang-for-the-buck method of comparing different AI models – as opposed to ranking their raw intelligence – has gained popularity in recent months.<\/p>\n

DeepSeek’s official application programming interface (API) price for V4 Pro is now as low as US$0.0036 per 1 million cached input tokens, and US$0.87 per 1 million output tokens.<\/p>\n

This means that the model requires US$268 to run Artificial Analysis’ Intelligence Index benchmark tests, a composite benchmark combining several performance metrics. OpenAI<\/span> and Anthropic<\/span>’s latest flagship models, GPT-5.5 and Claude Opus 4.7, cost about 12 and 19 times more, respectively, to perform the same task.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
