DeepSeek V4 released: Chinese model rivals GPT-5.5, Claude, Gemini at 85% lower cost

DeepSeek has launched V4, its latest frontier model that demonstrates superior reasoning performance compared to GPT-5.2 and Gemini 3.0-Pro in previews. Priced dramatically lower than competitors, it challenges the dominance of Western AI labs with open-ish access and efficiency gains. Early benchmarks show it closing the gap on top models while costing far less to run.

Why it matters

A cost-effective Chinese frontier model intensifies global AI competition, potentially accelerating adoption and pressuring pricing from OpenAI and others.
