DeepSeek never said it was permanent in their pricing materials, the article writer did. They are just taking the current expiration date off an existing discount. It's absolutely a shot across the bow at Claude, OpenAI, et al., but the author was click-baiting, as is tradition.
No?

Matter of Interpretation. It's not a time-limited discount anymore so it's "permanent" in that sense, but there's no commitment to not again raise the price later.
