DeepSeek V4 launched in preview through V4-Pro and V4-Flash variants with open weights, 1M-context support, and claimed gains in coding and reasoning. Early hands-on testing has flagged some real-world output quality concerns, but the cost positioning continues to pressure US frontier labs — a key backdrop to today's industry-news cycle.
- DeepSeek released its V4 model — its most capable to date — featuring a 1 million token context window, 1.6 trillion parameters in the Pro version, and native multimodal support for text, images, and video with a new "Engram" memory architecture.
- The model runs on Huawei Ascend processors, representing a potential inflection point in China's AI hardware independence from Nvidia.
- # Opus 4.7 reached general availability with a 1M-token context, GPQA 94.2, and SWE-bench 87.6, retaking the top SWE-bench Pro spot from open-weight GLM-5.1 within nine days.
- Anthropic positions it as the leader for production agentic workflows.
- Pricing held at $5/$25 per MTok.
