๐จ $DEEPSEEK ENDS THE ULTRA-CHEAP AI ERA โ INFRASTRUCTURE BILLS CATCH UP ๐ฅ
๐ DeepSeek just signaled the end of its disruptive pricing strategy. The company that charged $0.14 per million input tokens โ a fraction of Western competitors โ now warns of "significant increases" across its entire API suite. This isn't a tweak; it's a structural shift.
๐ก The timing is everything: record traffic (7.22 trillion tokens in one week) met the reality of massive infrastructure costs. Jensen Huang pegs similar-scale compute at ~$50B. When the price leader raises rates, the whole sector follows. ๐ Smart money is already reading the ripple effects across AI-linked assets.
๐ฌ Will AI-linked crypto assets absorb this as a utility-demand signal or buckle under cost pressure? ๐
