Deep Seek Announces Permanent 75% Price Cut for V4-Pro Model

Deep Seek, a Chinese AI startup, announced a permanent 75% price reduction for its flagship V4-Pro model, lowering prices to a quarter of their original levels. The company did not clarify if this reduction is linked to increased supplies of Huawei's Ascend 950 chips, which are crucial for enhancing the model's performance. The API costs for the V4-Pro now range from 0.025 to 6 yuan per million tokens, down from 0.1 to 24 yuan. The token serves as the basic unit for measuring the data processed by the AI model, making this price cut significant for competitive pricing in the market.

Anthropic warns Claude Mythos Preview finds bugs faster than developers can patch them

Anthropic revealed that its Claude Mythos model, collaborating with around 50 partners under the Glasswing project, has identified over 10,000 critical vulnerabilities in core software. These vulnerabilities are increasing at a rate that exceeds developers' ability to patch them, creating a high-risk transitional period. Anthropic warns that no company, including itself, has implemented sufficient security measures to prevent the misuse of these models. This situation raises concerns in the AI sector, necessitating companies to strengthen their security strategies.

[AINews] All Model Labs are now Agent Labs

As OpenAI approaches its IPO filing, Greg has indicated that Model Labs are increasingly focusing on developing agents as core products. This shift follows the closure of AI21's model team, which is now pivoting to agents, highlighting a significant change in corporate strategies. This change marks a turning point in how models are perceived, demonstrating that quality alone is no longer a competitive advantage. Success now requires a synergy between models, tools, and user interfaces, reflecting a market shift towards more integrated products.

AI is being used to resurrect the voices of dead pilots

Researchers have utilized AI on cockpit recordings to reconstruct the audio content. This development prompted the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) to temporarily restrict access to its file system. This move raises controversial questions regarding privacy and security in using AI for analyzing sensitive data. It also highlights the challenges regulatory bodies face in addressing technological innovations. The incident underscores the need for clear policies on AI use in sensitive areas, particularly in aviation, urging decision-makers to balance innovation with the protection of sensitive information.

Did Google’s AI agents really build an operating system for $916?

Google recently launched its new model, Gemini 3.5 Flash, at the latest developer conference, alongside the Antigravity 2.0 application. The company claimed that a team of agents built a complete operating system with just one request, costing $900 in API fees. However, the assertion that it was a 'single' request is misleading, as it was revealed to consist of thousands of lines. The process involved a specialized framework with designated roles and delegation to sub-agents, raising questions about the effectiveness of this structure for other complex programming tasks.
