A remarkable 13-month comparison: running frontier-level DeepSeek R1 at ~5 tokens/second cost $6,000 in early 2025. Today, you can run a significantly stronger model at the same speed on a $600 mini PC — and get 17-20 t/s with even more capable models.
The Financial Times reports that DeepSeek V4 is set to launch next week, featuring image and video generation capabilities that position it as a direct competitor to multimodal AI models from OpenAI and Google.
A trending r/LocalLLaMA thread highlighted the DualPath paper on KV-Cache bottlenecks in disaggregated inference systems. The arXiv abstract reports up to 1.87x offline throughput and 1.96x average online throughput gains while meeting SLO.
Anthropic revealed that Chinese AI labs DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax created over 24,000 fraudulent accounts and generated 16+ million Claude exchanges to extract its capabilities and improve their own competing models.

Anthropic has accused three Chinese AI companies — DeepSeek, Moonshot AI (Kimi), and MiniMax — of creating over 24,000 fraudulent Claude accounts to extract training data from 16 million conversations, marking a major escalation in AI intellectual property disputes.
Anthropic has accused Chinese AI firms of creating over 24,000 fraudulent accounts to extract 16 million training exchanges from Claude for model distillation.
DeepSeek released V4 on Lunar New Year with 1 trillion parameters, 1M-token context windows, and novel mHC architecture. The open-weight model claims benchmark-topping coding performance at 10–40× lower inference costs than Western frontier models.
DeepSeek is set to launch its next-generation coding-focused AI model V4 in mid-February, featuring 1M+ token context windows and consumer GPU support for unprecedented developer accessibility.
