Thank you for your support and understanding! DeepSeek Team

This is from an email I got.

Couldn't really find reliable information about the price increase because everything about it is paywalled and the Deepseek website doesn't have info on the price increase.

Deepseek is like 200 million in the red. Unlike other AI companies, they might be able to dig themselves out of that with a still affordable price hike. The average US company would need to 10x prices to do that.

Interesting. 200 million is peanuts compared to most, OpenAI lost 9 billion last year.

[–] DasRav@hexbear.net 14 points 2 weeks ago

Those 200 million are an estimate of their total operational losses since 2023 as well. It's probably not the most accurate number, but absolutely close enough to illustrate just how totally, utterly wasteful the US AI corporations are being.
