DeepSeek AI has announced impressive financial results, revealing annual revenues of $200 million with profit margins exceeding 85%. This achievement highlights the potential for significant profitability in the AI language model sector, even when pricing services much lower than competitors like OpenAI. DeepSeek's success comes from efficient architecture and cost management, allowing them to charge just $2.19 per million tokens, which is approximately 25 times less than OpenAI. This pricing strategy, combined with smart resource allocation, has enabled DeepSeek to achieve profitability that rivals that of Nvidia, which reports profit margins of 72-77%.

The company's innovative approach includes maximizing efficiency through a dynamic resource allocation system. During peak daytime hours, all server nodes are dedicated to handling inference requests. When demand decreases at night, resources are redirected to research and training tasks. This smart management helps reduce costs, contributing to the company's high-profit margins. While these figures represent "theoretical" profit margins, they are based on actual usage data, illustrating the potential for AI language models to be highly profitable even with lower pricing strategies.
