I have my doubts about them following through with this increase. I mean how many times has an increase on the same model happened.

There was Deepseek v4, which then later Deepseek v4.1 came out and it went back down again.

They will follow through with it, it's because they want to get the money of the people who embedded it into their system and lazy to change it.

It's an accounting trick.

They get to claim that as revenue, and then the discount as an expense.

This is how you grow your top line
