DeepSeek V4's API gross margin has reached 70% to 80%, according to an updated report by The Information that raised an earlier figure of above 50%. Sources said the company was able to sustain those margins while charging far less than OpenAI and Anthropic because of infrastructure optimization that allows it to serve more requests with fewer resources.
