DeepSeek API speeds up and supports 500 concurrent requests

DeepSeek announced today that its API has been upgraded with faster output and more stable service, now supporting up to 500 concurrent requests by default. Enterprise users can apply online for higher concurrency.

Earlier, DeepSeek said the API price for DeepSeek-V4-Pro will be adjusted to one-fourth of the original price after the 75% discount ends on May 31, 2026. The new rates are: 0.025 yuan per million tokens for cache-hit input, 3 yuan for cache-miss input, and 6 yuan for output.
