Özet

The highly anticipated full release of DeepSeek V4 is imminent, expected to launch as early as tomorrow after nearly three months of waiting. A select group has already received access to the GA (General Availability) beta, which includes two versions: DeepSeek V4 Flash and DeepSeek V4 Pro. Early testers report that V4's overall performance is close to the level of Opus 4.8, with coding capabilities rivaling GPT-5.6 Sol. Its agent abilities are significantly enhanced, and 3D/SVG generation has improved notably. While it may not surpass the recently released Kimi K3 in performance, its expected price point is significantly lower. The official release will introduce a new "peak/off-peak" pricing model for its API. For example, deepseek-v4-pro will cost $0.87 per million output tokens during standard times and $1.74 during peak hours. The flash version is even more aggressive at $0.28/$0.56 per million tokens, with cached input tokens priced extremely low at $0.0028. This makes V4 a strong contender in terms of cost-effectiveness, potentially offering Opus-level capabilities at a fraction of the cost, continuing DeepSeek's reputation as a "price disruptor" in the AI market. Initial demos showcasing V4's capabilities have begun circulating, including generated 3D simulation games, HTML games blending elements of Minecraft and No Man's Sky, and classic games like a "Cut the Rope" clone. The final GA version is set to replace the older deepseek-chat and deepseek-reasoner models,...

The whole internet has been waiting for nearly three months!

DeepSeek V4 official version may be released as early as tomorrow, at the latest within the next few days.

Currently, some people have already received early access to the DeepSeek V4 (GA) grayscale testing.

There are two versions: DeepSeek V4 Flash and DeepSeek V4 Pro.

DeepSeek V4 'Full-Blooded Edition'

Is Finally Coming

What everyone is most concerned about is, how do you know if you've been included in the grayscale test?

Blogger AiBattle gave a folk 'verification mantra': look at the first person in the Chain-of-Thought (CoT).

If the model's thought process starts with "I'm" or "I'll", not the old version's "Let me".

Then congratulations, you're probably already using the V4 GA version!

In the current landscape where Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol are locked in a fierce battle, the entire internet's expectations for the open-source AI's big move are sky-high.

A developer, Pankaj Kumar, after experiencing it, first gave a fair summary of V4's performance:

Overall performance approaches Opus 4.8 level, coding rivals GPT-5.6 Sol;

Agent capabilities are greatly enhanced, 3D and SVG generation have significantly improved;

For the same task, V4 requires more iteration rounds than Fable 5.

He stated that from the current market positioning, V4 will likely not beat the newly released Kimi K3, but the price will be significantly lower.

If this performance truly comes with this price, then it might be another DeepSeek moment.

First Round of Tests Already Out

Now, the first round of test demos for DeepSeek V4 (GA) have begun to circulate.

It can be said that the outside world has mixed reviews:

Some believe it can already rival Claude 5, but some developers also pointed out that the Pro version is not significantly ahead of the Flash version.

Below is a 3D simulated shooting game generated by V4 Pro. The core gameplay involves operating a ballista for target practice, and basic UI functions are already complete.

An HTML hybrid game blending Minecraft and No Man's Sky, created by the V4 official version, has relatively high playability.

The classic "Cut the Rope" game below was also produced by V4 in one go.

Below are also some demos generated by V4: an Xbox controller SVG test and game generation.

Introducing "Peak-Valley Billing" for the First Time

Still Smells Sweet

To recreate a "DeepSeek moment," the biggest variable is price.

All leaks point to the same conclusion: performance might not be number one, but the price will be significantly lower.

At the end of last month, DeepSeek sent an email to all API users, stating that the V4 official version would be launched in mid-July.

After the GA release, API pricing will be adjusted simultaneously, introducing "Peak-Valley Billing."

deepseek-v4-pro: $0.87 per million output tokens during off-peak, $1.74 during peak; $0.435 per million for cache-missed inputs during off-peak.

deepseek-v4-flash is even more aggressive: $0.28 per million outputs during off-peak, $0.56 during peak, $0.0028 per million for cache-hit inputs.

This means the "price butcher" who never raised prices has, for the first time, installed a meter on its computing power.

The impact on individual users is minimal, but for teams that run Agents non-stop during working hours, this is a real cost that needs to be recalculated.

Fortunately, the price for cache hits remains extremely low. Moving batch tasks, evaluation benchmarks, and data generation outside peak hours can still bring costs back down.

However, compared to Fable 5's $50 per million output tokens, V4 remains the most cost-effective option.

After all, the performance has also reached the Opus level. In the official self-test on SWE-bench Verified when the V4 preview was released—

DeepSeek-V4-Pro-Max was only 0.2 percentage points behind Claude Opus 4.6 Max, yet the price was only one-seventh of the latter's.

But in long-context retrieval, professional software engineering, and some knowledge reasoning evaluations, Opus still maintains a lead.

As a side note, the two old model names, deepseek-chat and deepseek-reasoner, will be officially discontinued on July 24th.

Regardless, this "shoe" that the whole internet has been waiting three months for is finally about to drop.

Judging from the currently leaked information, V4 will likely not be the model that is "number one in all categories."

With Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol ahead, and Kimi K3 on the side, it's difficult for V4 to overturn the table relying solely on pure performance.

But DeepSeek has never played that card.

The real highlight is that old, repeatedly proven path: offering Opus-level capabilities at one-seventh the price.

After all, in the face of giants charging dozens of dollars per million tokens, even with a "peak-valley meter" installed, V4 is still that "price butcher" that wreaks havoc.

In Conversation with Ray Dalio: We Are Currently in an AI Bubble, with 1% of My Portfolio in Bitcoin

Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, warns in an interview that the current AI boom shows classic bubble characteristics, which could lead to significant economic downturns as seen in past cycles like 1929 or 2000. He explains that speculative enthusiasm, fueled by debt and overvaluation, often precedes a crash when rising rates or taxation force asset sales, causing widespread losses and recession. Dalio also outlines his "Big Cycle" theory, describing an approximate 80-year pattern where widening wealth gaps, massive government deficits, and shifting geopolitical power (like China's rise) create internal conflict and global instability. He emphasizes that we are in a late-cycle, transitional phase where traditional powers like the US and UK face decline. For personal wealth protection, Dalio advises diversification beyond cash into assets like stocks, bonds, real estate, and particularly gold, which he prefers over Bitcoin. While he holds about 1% of his portfolio in Bitcoin as a non-printable hard asset, he views gold as more secure from technological or governmental threats. Regarding AI's impact, Dalio believes it will disproportionately benefit capital owners, worsening inequality by replacing both physical and cognitive labor. He suggests that human intuition and emotional intelligence, combined with AI, will be key for future workers. On taxation, Dalio argues that wealth taxes are impractical and risk triggering asset sell-offs, reducing productive investment. He points to the UK as a cautionary example of debt, low productivity, and political strife. Geopolitically, Dalio foresees a more regionalized world, with the US showing weakness in prolonged conflicts like with Iran, akin to past imperial declines. The ideal outcome, he suggests, is coexisting powerful blocs (e.g., Americas, China-Asia Pacific) without major war.

Daily 7.2 Trillion KRW: Foreign Capital's Record Net Buying on Friday! Wall Street Says Headwinds for Korean Stock Fund Flows Have Subsided

South Korean stock market sees a dramatic shift in fund flows. On July 31, foreign investors made a record net purchase of approximately KRW 7.2 trillion in KOSPI stocks, marking a fundamental reversal from the persistent large-scale net outflows seen in previous months. This contributed to a significant narrowing of foreign net selling in July to KRW 9.8 trillion, down sharply from KRW 48.4 trillion in June and KRW 44.5 trillion in May. Simultaneously, domestic institutional pressure eased. South Korean pension funds and asset managers turned to a net buying position in July, purchasing KRW 1.0 trillion worth of KOSPI shares, contrasting with net sales in May and June. Market volatility is expected to be dampened by new financial regulations. Effective July 31, the Financial Services Commission tightened access for retail investors to single-stock leveraged ETFs by raising the minimum cash deposit requirement. Trading volumes for these products subsequently dropped to about 50% of their monthly average. Citigroup Research maintains its year-end KOSPI target of 10,000 points. The firm cites several supportive factors: the substantial easing of headwinds from capital outflows, a robust fundamental outlook for the semiconductor sector, historically low market valuations, strong economic fundamentals, and the potential for policy support from financial authorities if needed.

Breaking! OpenAI's Next-Gen AI Solves 10 Fields Medal-Level Problems

OpenAI's next-generation AI model Astra achieves breakthroughs in 10 long-standing mathematical conjectures. The results, including constructing the first known infinite, finitely presented non-sofic group—resolving a major question since 1999—and advancing the high-dimensional sphere packing problem beyond a 46-year-old barrier, are detailed in a 249-page paper. Key proofs have been formally verified using Lean 4. The AI also refuted a rigidity conjecture by Fields Medalist Alain Connes. According to OpenAI, generating these proofs cost under $2,000. Experts describe the findings as potentially Fields Medal-worthy and a landmark moment for both mathematics and AI, showcasing the model's ability to produce profound, human-like reasoning across diverse fields like group theory, geometry, and operator algebras.

How to Make Yourself Irreplaceable by AI Forever

This article argues that the primary threat from AI is not job replacement, but remaining trapped in "wage slavery"—financial dependence on employers. The path to becoming irreplaceable is not resisting AI, but becoming an "unemployable" individual who builds their own meaningful enterprise. The author identifies five key elements for this: Agency (acting without permission), Taste (judging what's worthwhile), Persuasion, Persistence, and Iteration. The solution is to stop being a "pawn" in someone else's game. To start, you must fundamentally change your identity and environment, then engage in rapid, real-world trial and error. While both coding and creating media (content) are powerful, content is more crucial. AI can generate assets, but true value lies in subjective, human-driven content that builds trust and narrative. The actionable advice is to carve out 15 minutes to answer foundational questions: 1) Uncover your "raw material"—what you know deeply or solve effortlessly. 2) Define your contrarian perspective—what common beliefs you think are wrong. The intersection of these answers is your direction. Finally, you must launch by publishing your first core idea immediately, using the feedback to iterate and develop the skills needed for a self-directed life and career.

Thanks to Dice Rolls, Bitcoin Keys Are Stored Offline, But Not Everyone Will Do It

The article discusses using dice rolls to generate secure Bitcoin wallet seeds, providing entropy independent of potentially flawed hardware random number generators. It explains that each fair dice roll offers about 2.585 bits of entropy, with around 50 rolls needed for a standard 12-word seed phrase and 99+ recommended for higher security. This method gained attention after a vulnerability was revealed in some Coldcard hardware wallets, where a faulty firmware RNG (dating back to 2021) compromised generated keys. The analysis notes that while a dice-generated main seed was safe from this specific flaw, other Coldcard functions (like creating paper wallets, backup keys, or passwords) could still be vulnerable if they used the defective RNG. The piece argues that while dice-based entropy is technically robust, the manual process is error-prone, tedious, and unrealistic for most new users, who might make mistakes in recording or inputting rolls. It concludes that while manual entropy generation should remain an option for advanced users, the long-term goal is to develop reliable, user-friendly hardware and software that securely generates randomness without requiring specialized knowledge. Coldcard users are advised to check their firmware version and replace any secondary secrets (like paper wallet keys) created with vulnerable devices, while also considering multi-signature setups with devices from different manufacturers for added security.
