DeepSeek has unveiled two preview versions of its newest large language model, DeepSeek V4. The Pro model has 1.6 trillion parameters (49 billion active), making it the biggest open-weight model available. Both models have almost closed the gap with frontier models on reasoning benchmarks, with V4-Pro-Max outperforming GPT-5.2 and Gemini 3.0 Pro on some tasks. They also undercut competitors on pricing, with V4 Flash costing 0.14 USD per million input tokens. techcrunch.com/2026/04/24/deep… #AIagent #AI #GenAI #AIResearch
