## Resource

DeepSeek just shattered the AI pricing ceiling with a permanent 75% discount on its V4-Pro model, slashing costs so dramatically that a hundred million tokens a month now costs under $400 — a fraction of what OpenAI and Anthropic charge. This isn’t charity; it’s a strategic move to capture market share, fueled by Huawei’s efficient Ascend chips and backed by a massive funding round. For developers, it’s a game-changer — forcing reevaluation of every AI stack decision. For investors, it signals a new reality: AI software margins are under pressure, while hardware makers like Nvidia may still thrive — but the era of premium AI pricing is officially over.
