Chinese AI company DeepSeek has significantly cut the price of its V4 Pro model, aiming to compete globally on cost-efficiency rather than cutting-edge capabilities. This move positions the model as a leader in value for money, according to benchmark firm Artificial Analysis, amidst a global compute supply crunch.
Razer's Viper V4 Pro gaming mouse offers incremental improvements over its predecessor, focusing on reduced latency and improved consistency. While not a revolutionary leap, it provides a compelling upgrade for users with older models, boasting optical switches, a lighter design, and enhanced customization via Synapse software.
A new open-source script swaps Claude Code's expensive Anthropic backend for DeepSeek V4 Pro, OpenRouter, or Fireworks AI—keeping the agent loop, slashing the bill.
NIST's CAISI evaluated DeepSeek V4 Pro using private benchmarks and a cost-comparison filter that excluded every US model except GPT-5.4 mini. Critics call the methodology convenient.
DeepSeek is touting its ultra-low charges for models unveiled last week, stoking price competition as China challenges the United States in artificial intelligence (AI). Developers are being offered 75 per cent discounts on the newly released DeepSeek V4 Pro. Fees for input cache hits across the Hangzhou-based company’s AI platforms have also been slashed to 10 per cent of the original price. That provides a cost saving for users who frequently make similar or repeat requests. The V4 Pro and the...
OpenClaw has adopted DeepSeek's V4 Flash as the default model for its AI agent, expanding its catalogue to include V4 Flash and V4 Pro models. The update also integrated Google Meet and optimized multi-step task consistency. DeepSeek's V4 models support mainstream agent tools including Anthropic's Claude Code, OpenClaw, and Tencent's CodeBuddy. The release gained global attention due to Huawei's announcement of full support from its Ascend chips and supernode systems.
DeepSeek's V4 Pro model ranked second globally among open-source AI models, trailing Moonshot AI's Kimi K2.6, according to benchmark firm Artificial Analysis. While V4 Pro showed improvement over its predecessor V3.2, it still lagged behind top competitors, highlighting challenges facing Chinese AI firms racing to close the gap with the US amid intensifying competition and computing power constraints.
Washington torna ad accusare Pechino di furto di proprietà intellettuale su scala industriale, mentre una nuova analisi indica che V4 Pro sarebbe superiore a tutte le versioni open-source concorrenti.
