Source Summary

Vercel AI Gateway offers **90% off** DeepSeek V4 Flash through Novita for Pro customers until **August 11**. Both the base model and 0731 variant qualify.

Practical Implication

Put Novita first in the provider order and monitor which provider serves each request. Budget agent workloads against the fallback price, not only the promotional rate.

If Novita cannot serve a request, Gateway falls back to other providers at standard rates. After the deadline, the models remain available at standard rates with no markup.

This creates a temporary routing opportunity, not a durable model-economics change: Novita-first ordering can lower near-term cost, but fallback and the August 11 expiry make standard pricing the relevant planning baseline. It reinforces that gateway policy must be evaluated from actual serving metadata and rerun when provider prices change.
