DeepSeek Opens Up Search and Fetch Search APIs, Charging $0.75 per Thousand Requests

DeepSeek is opening its in-house search engine to external developers through two new APIs, Search and Fetch, which can retrieve real-time web search results and webpage body text. It charges $0.75 per 1,000 successful requests, requires no additional model calls, and can be used in applications powered by other vendors' models. Search returns ranked results with titles, URLs, snippets, and summaries, while Fetch returns the content of a single webpage in Markdown format; the company says the engine handles hundreds of millions of requests per day and its index contains hundreds of billions of webpages. The release coincides with a minor version update, DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017. The API documentation shows that each account is limited to 5 Search and 5 Fetch requests per second, a single search returns at most 50 results, and only requests that return results are billed.

Jim Cramer: Don't rush to chase the AI rebound—watch these four things first

CNBC's Jim Cramer said that although the Nasdaq Composite rose about 1.1% on Monday, it is still too early to conclude that AI data center stocks are safe. He listed four preconditions: improvement in the chart patterns of semiconductor and memory ETFs, hyperscaler earnings confirming AI spending and driving public cloud growth, the end of the midterm elections on November 3, and a successful Anthropic IPO. He also cautioned that an Anthropic listing could siphon funds away from other AI stocks.

Three aurora model references appeared on the OpenAI API

TestingCatalog discovered that three model references—aurora-red-alpha, aurora-green-alpha, and aurora-blue-alpha—recently appeared on the OpenAI API and were quickly removed afterward, judging it to be an accidental deployment. It believes that the likelihood of ordinary users testing these alpha models in the short term is very low; what is more likely to appear is a Daybreak update announcement, while other model release plans cannot be ruled out either.
