The token pricing model for large-scale AI companies is evolving, and your AI bill is about to change. Multiple token supply platforms report that token demand is currently in a high-growth phase, with supply struggling to keep up during peak periods.

Faced with surging token demand and periodic computing power shortages, several major AI model providers are adjusting their pricing strategies. These models are moving from "pay-per-use" to more "refined and dynamic pricing" approaches.

Kimi has introduced four subscription tiers ranging from 39 yuan to 559 yuan per month. Meanwhile, DeepSeek is set to raise prices for its large model open API interfaces, and is expected to introduce a "peak-to-valley pricing" model in the future. Under this model, peak hours from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM daily will see rates double the normal price.
