DeepSeek retires its legacy deepseek-chat and deepseek-reasoner aliases on July 24 as scheduled and ships DeepSeek V4 to official GA by July 31, 2026, with peak-hour surge pricing in effect.
Outcome
The alias-retirement leg hit at 15:59 UTC Jul 24 with hard failure and no redirect. Explicit V4 Pro/Flash IDs and thinking parameter support the migration thesis, but the full GA/pricing trigger is not yet documented strongly enough for a hit.
