Recently, DeepSeek API made an announcement stating that, commencing at 0:00 on August 23, 2026, it will modify its peak-valley pricing regulations. Specifically, the entire duration of Saturdays and Sundays will be classified as off-peak hours, adopting a unified low-price billing strategy. In contrast, on weekdays (from Monday to Friday), the existing differentiated pricing system for peak and off-peak hours will remain in place, with peak-hour rates being relatively higher. This strategic adjustment is designed to provide developers with greater flexibility in managing their operations over the weekends, while simultaneously ensuring an optimal balance in the overall network computing power load.
