still no email I hope to be notified of this because I lost my email lol (doesn't stop me from using the service though, based Whale… pls let me change it)
🚨 DeepSeek V4 NEW (GA) is in testing right now. They're clearly gunning for Claude Fable. Early results put it at Opus 4.8 level. This is DeepSeek's direct answer to Kimi K3 — and pricing will likely stay the same. — Better agentic behavior and solid coding — Way better at 3D than Opus 4.8 Big props to the DeepSeek team for the optimized architecture. That's the foundation that makes these strong models possible.
surprisingly, not based in South Asia
🚨 DeepSeek V4 (GA) is reportedly in testing. Early reports suggest: • Opus 4.8-level performance • Much stronger agentic behavior • Significant coding improvements • Major gains in 3D generation • Direct competitor to Kimi K3 and Claude Fable • Rumored pricing: $0.0028 per 1M tokens If that pricing is accurate, DeepSeek V4 could be orders of magnitude cheaper than today's frontier models while delivering near-frontier intelligence. This could be one of the most disruptive AI releases we've ever seen. Performance is becoming a commodity. Cost will become the battlefield.
really don't like where this is going
🧐DeepSeek V4 (NEW) — reasoning example. Noticed it now feels a lot more like Claude in style. No more huge walls of code in the chain-of-thought, instead it just shows things like Writing the main scene code... Writing the core functions... Way more summarization in the responses. Looks cleaner and much easier to read. https://x.com/Waguri_Kaoruko8/status/2078418531046027619?s=20
