DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 input price cut to $0.0057 per 1M tokens
DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 input pricing dropped from $0.0103 to $0.0057 per 1M tokens on OpenRouter. Output pricing is unchanged at $1.28 per 1M tokens. The cut applies only to the input side, so the economics shift for prompt-heavy work rather than generation-heavy work.
What it means for a SaaS brand
Cheaper input makes it practical to push large context, full docs pages, comparison tables, changelogs, into every call, so AI-search pipelines built on this model can read more of your site per query. Output cost is flat, so the saving only lands if your workloads are retrieval and context heavy rather than long-generation.
