Relayed rumors claim that DeepSeek V4 (GA) is currently being tested, with some early leaks emerging:
- Performance is reportedly at the level of Claude Opus 4.8
- Enhanced agentic capabilities
- Significant improvements in coding abilities
- Massive progress in 3D generation
- Will directly compete against Kimi K3 and Claude Fable
- Rumored price is only $0.0028 / 1 million tokens
The original post concludes that if this pricing is accurate, DeepSeek V4 could offer near-frontier intelligence at a fraction of the cost of current frontier models. The core competition for future models will shift from "performance" to "cost."
