The objective is to understand the technical definition of pricing (precio), token (token), and app access (acceso a aplicación) in institutional context.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF THE WORK
● DeepSeek pricing (precio) defines the monetary cost per million tokens (millón de tokens) with distinction between cache hit (acierto de caché) and cache miss (fallo de caché).
● A token (token) is the smallest text unit processed by the model and it equals a fragment of a word in English or Spanish 📝.
● Input token (token de entrada) means user text provided to the model, while output token (token de salida) means generated text response.
● Cache hit (acierto de caché) means the system reuses previously stored input and charges $0.07 per million tokens.
● Cache miss (fallo de caché) means the system processes new input and charges $0.56 per million tokens.
● Output token (token de salida) always costs $1.12 per million tokens regardless of cache status 📊.
● An example shows that 700 tokens input and 400 tokens output cost less than $0.001, proving efficiency.
● The update applies from 4 September 2025 at 16:00 UTC, replacing previous off-peak discount (descuento en horario valle).
● The app access (acceso a aplicación) through PlayStore allows free use because institutional costs are absorbed by the provider ⚙️.
● A user in PlayStore never receives direct billing unless creating an API account (cuenta de API) with card registration.
● A monthly scenario with 10 interactions per day reaches $0.252 under new pricing, but free app use remains without charge.
● Practical translation: cache hit equals ahorro, cache miss equals precio normal, always linked to token definition 🔄.
TECHNICAL CLASSIFICATION OF THE AUTHOR
● Pricing (precio) is defined as the structured value of computational service per million tokens, and the definition repeats with numeric examples.
● Token (token) is defined as a unit of segmented language, repeated in context of input and output, always measurable in cost 📌.
● Input token (token de entrada) is defined as the chargeable representation of user submission, with example of 500 words.
● Output token (token de salida) is defined as the measurable generation of model text, with example of 300 words.
● Cache hit (acierto de caché) is defined as reuse of previous tokens at lower price, and is contrasted with cache miss.
● Cache miss (fallo de caché) is defined as new token processing at higher price, explicitly linked with monetary value 💡.
● Off-peak discount (descuento en horario valle) is defined as a past policy eliminated on 4 September 2025 at 16:00 UTC.
● API account (cuenta de API) is defined as institutional access requiring payment method, in contrast with PlayStore free access 📱.
● App access (acceso a aplicación) is defined as user-level interaction without billing, serving as complement to paid API.
● Monthly estimate (estimación mensual) is defined as the calculated projection of token cost, repeated with numerical detail.
● DeepSeek (DeepSeek) is defined as the institutional entity applying pricing, tokens, cache system, and app modalities.
● OpenAI (OpenAI) is defined as comparative reference with magnitude 10, while DeepSeek is scaled as 6–7 in relative measure 🔢.
