DeepSeek ended its weekend peak pricing for API users starting from August 23, charging off-peak rates for all weekend usage going forward.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI & ML.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You can now offer or negotiate API usage without weekend price premiums from DeepSeek. Shift your cost modelling and sales conversations to reflect flat weekend rates and capture more usage or customers that avoided expensive weekend fees.
