responded to DeepSeek's price reduction.

On June 2nd, Tencent Cloud announced that in order to continuously reduce user costs, the Tencent Cloud Intelligent Body Development Platform will adjust the prices of the DeepSeek-V4 series models starting from June 3rd, 2026, at 00:00 Beijing time, with the maximum decrease reaching 97.5%. In response to this, Dou Bao said, "It's good that competitors are reducing prices, as the industry as a whole will benefit. We will focus on providing a good user experience for our daily users." Dou Bao is not worried about user loss, believing that the needs of both parties are not the same. Just the day before, it was reported that Dou Bao is expected to officially launch paid content at the end of June. The subscription service declaration announced in early May revealed three subscription prices: the standard version for continuous monthly subscription is 68 yuan per month, the enhanced version for continuous monthly subscription is 200 yuan per month, and the professional version for continuous monthly subscription is 500 yuan per month.
