Beating AI Insight News Flash: DeepSeek backtracks. Its latest official notice confirms it will continue offering the V4 Pro API after September 14, with prices unchanged. The previously planned automatic switch to V4.1 Flash has been canceled. Two days ago, DeepSeek had announced V4.1 Flash outperforms V4 Pro across performance, pricing, speed, and total runtime, and planned to phase out V4 Pro on September 14, with all subsequent deepseek-v4-pro requests automatically routed to V4.1 Flash. This move faced widespread developer opposition: many production environments have already fine-tuned prompts and agent workflows around V4 Pro, and a direct backend model switch could trigger behavioral changes. DeepSeek now explicitly states it is retaining V4 Pro “in response to demands from the vast majority of users”, effectively reversing its original mandatory migration plan.
