Why not? They probably only offered those deals because of DeepSeek aggressive pricing. Now that DeepSeek is 3x more expensive it's time to revert those discounts.

Tibo said it’s permanent, whatever that means

Probably means it's not intended as temporary, but not that the price will never change again

Luna vs v4 Flash, sure.

But DeepSeek v4 Pro is a far more capable model and still cheaper than anything that it competes with, from what I can see.

Luna is multimodal.

Not sure who you're replying to? I was talking about Pro not Flash. Luna and DS4Pro are not competitors. DS4 Pro is probably about GPT 5.4 high level or Opus 4.8, not Luna. It's cheaper than either.

Luna has one vendor and they can change the price any time. Deepseek is open and has dozens of vendors competing to serve it.

Can you help me find a few names? These are inference providers running open weights models, right?

Thank you in advance!

You might want to check out token.dance. It offers multiple AI models through one OpenAI-compatible API, with very competitive pricing.

Look at OpenRouter. They have lots of providers
