On April 4th, U.S. President Trump unveiled the outline of his budget proposal for fiscal year 2027, requesting up to $1.5 trillion in defense spending, a new record in modern American history. According to the plan, approximately $1.1 trillion will be allocated to the U.S. Department of Defense, with an additional $350 billion earmarked for projects such as critical munitions procurement and expansion of the defense industrial base. The budget also covers key military initiatives including naval construction and the "Golitah Dome" missile defense system. The White House stated that this budget aims to cut approximately $73 billion in non-defense spending, affecting areas like education and environmental protection, while maintaining overall spending caps. Concurrently, the proposal includes funding for newly established agencies, such as the National Fraud Investigation Bureau, to be led by Vice President JD Vance. Currently, this budget is only an outline, with full details yet to be released. Congress, controlled by the Republican Party, must review and decide on the final legislative content before the start of the new fiscal year on October 1st.

On April 4th, according to a recent report by U.S. tech media The Information, Chinese AI startup DeepSeek is on the verge of releasing its next-generation flagship model, V4, which is expected to run entirely on Huawei's self-developed chips. This move is seen as a significant milestone in China's push for semiconductor self-sufficiency. V4 is anticipated to be released within the coming weeks and will operate exclusively on Huawei chips. To achieve this, DeepSeek has collaborated with Huawei and chip designer Cambricon for several months, rewriting parts of the model's underlying code to ensure compatibility with domestic chips. Notably, DeepSeek has not granted early testing access for V4 to Nvidia this time, instead inviting only domestic chip companies to participate in early optimization, breaking industry norms. Chinese tech giants such as Alibaba, ByteDance, and Tencent have already pre-ordered Huawei's latest Ascend 950PR chips, with total orders reaching hundreds of thousands of units. They plan to deploy V4 through cloud services and integrate it into their own AI applications. The surge in demand has driven up the price of these chips by approximately 20%. V4 utilizes a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture, boasting a total of approximately 1 trillion parameters, with about 37 billion parameters activated per inference. This allows for low latency while supporting multimodal input for text, images, and code. Last year, DeepSeek's release of its low-cost models V3 and R1 caused a global tech stock downturn, leading to market questions about whether U.S. AI companies needed to spend billions on computing power. Consequently, V4 is attracting significant international attention.

On April 4, local time April 3, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu stated during a situation assessment with senior Israeli officials that the Israel Defense Forces will continue to vigorously strike Iran in collaboration with the United States. He mentioned that the Israeli military is continuing to 'eliminate' Iranian military commanders and is conducting bombings on infrastructure such as bridges. Netanyahu also noted that the Israeli forces have destroyed approximately 70% of Iran's steel production capacity, weakening the financial resources of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its ability to mass-produce weapons.

On April 4, Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, stated in his personal channel that despite long-standing restrictions on Telegram in Russia, data shows that approximately 65 million Russian users still use the app daily through VPNs and other means, with over 50 million maintaining active messaging. Meanwhile, the Russian government continues to intensify its efforts to block VPNs, but these measures face technical challenges. Reports indicate that recent internet blocking actions have even caused disruptions in payment systems, leading to a temporary return to cash transactions in some areas. A similar situation has been observed in Iran. Since the ban on Telegram, authorities initially hoped to promote the adoption of local, regulated communication applications, but this has instead led to a significant increase in VPN usage, resulting in widespread 'digital circumvention.' Analysts believe that in a highly regulated environment, the demand for communication freedom and privacy among users remains persistent, and the technological confrontation is escalating. As more developers engage in building VPNs and proxy tools, the struggle between information access and regulation is intensifying.

On April 4, AI company Anthropic announced that starting at 3:00 PM Eastern Time on April 4, it will prohibit access to third-party tools, including the open-source project OpenClaw, through its Claude subscription service. The new regulations require that related functionalities can only be used through additional packages or pay-as-you-go API billing. This adjustment means that many developers and teams relying on OpenClaw to build automated workflows will shift from a fixed subscription cost model to an unlimited pay-as-you-go system, significantly increasing overall usage costs. Some developers have indicated that their previous usage costs of around $20 per month could soar to hundreds or even thousands of dollars. The market generally believes this move is related to the recent joining of OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger at OpenAI. Meanwhile, Anthropic is accelerating the promotion of its own tool ecosystem, including native integration solutions for Claude, to replace third-party toolchains. It is noteworthy that Anthropic has previously tightened third-party access through technical restrictions, updates to service terms, and functional replacements. This policy is seen as a 'final blockade' and will be extended to more tools. Industry analysis points out that this event reflects an intensifying trend of 'ecosystem tightening' in AI platforms, as leading companies strengthen their control through vertical integration. At the same time, the developer ecosystem faces rising cost uncertainties and increased platform dependency risks, which may further drive some users to switch to more open alternatives.
