DeepSeek's new bargain model accelerates AI's race to zero

DeepSeek's new bargain model accelerates AI's race to zero 01.08.2026

Chinese AI lab DeepSeek released V4 Flash, a powerful new coding model on Friday, charging approximately 28 cents for the same output that costs $25 on Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.8—a staggering 99% discount. V4 Flash performs close to the level of Opus 4.8 on complex coding tests and even debuted ahead of it on Arena.ai's front-end coding leaderboard, while delivering the best performance for its price in its class. This release follows DeepSeek's January market meltdown, where it demonstrated building a world-class AI model with far fewer resources than U.S. rivals.
