Anthropic's Opus 4.6 and 4.7 models cost $25 per 1M output tokens.

DeepSeek-V4-Flash costs $0.28 per 1M output tokens.

It's nearly 100 X cheaper and almost 100% as good (not quite, but very close for the majority of tasks).

Is this China weaponizing pricing to destroy the U.S. AI industry? Not at all. It's just math:

DeepSeek engineered an astonishing new method for compressing context (KV cache) to use about 1/10th the memory. That means roughly 10 parallel queries can run on the same GPU hardware that used to only be able to run 1 query. So now there's 10X throughput (I'm simplifying it, but that's the idea).

On top of that DeepSeek innovated in the sparse attention space, allowing their high-parameter models to function with the speed of very small models while still demonstrating the near-full intelligence of large frontier models.

The result? DeepSeek runs faster, smarter, in less memory than anything else.

Thus, they can charge a lot less on a per-token basis and still make a decent profit.

DeepSeek's pricing, in other words, isn't some international punitive price war that's initiated a a loss. It's actually reflective of the far better technology and architecture of the DeepSeek model.

In fact, DeepSeek has published all their science papers on these innovations. It's all public. They aren't hiding it.

The ONLY way for U.S. AI companies to compete will be to adopt DeepSeek architectural innovations, or somehow surpass them on their own.

Even then, electricity is cheaper in China because the Chinese government wasn't retarded about "climate change" and they didn't dismantle their core energy infrastructure like Europe, the USA, Canada and Australia did (all to appease the climate cultists whose assertions never matched reality).

Bottom line? If you want to build a successful AI industry for your nation:

1) Invest in power infrastructure and keep building in every way you can: Nuclear, clean coal, gas, wind, solar, hydro, etc.

2) Don't dumb down your education system. Demand excellence and merit, and stop handing out college scholarships based on people being "woke."

3) Don't reward GREED and corporate secrets. Encourage industry-wide sharing of knowledge and innovation. Encourage open source.

The USA didn't do these things. China did. That's why China is winning the AI race to superintelligence. And that's why the USA is at least two decades behind on power infrastructure and education excellence.

The race is already over, in other words.

Nigel Farage's Reform Party has a plan to deport two million people they deem to be in the UK illegally. They are talking about a separate paramilitary force that would roam the streets abducting people and forcibly shipping them out of the country.

Chilling, just chilling.

All the culture war victories will ring hollow when you and your loved ones develop hideous cancers and birth defects. When the only wildlife left on the corpse of America are cockroaches and rats. Trump has removed all life-saving pollution regulations, folks. Now, he's busy killing science so you won't know what's killing you. Fight back.

[Rushi @rushicrypto]

The most annoying thing about being human on Earth right now is the absolute waste of potential.

Brilliant minds and artists could be solving world hunger, climate change, and ending cancer, etc.

We could house, feed, clothe, and care for everyone.

But instead, we’ve decided to let a handful of asshats become billionaires, start wars, murder and imprison people, and keep the majority in poverty while ruining the climate.

It’s so stupid. The wasted ingenuity hurts to think about.

The guy overseeing Trumps’s dismantling of the Forest Service btw is a multimillionaire rancher and tech executive who has a history of petty disputes with the agency https://t.co/8vjL9upc3S

[chels @gremlingardener]

when the trees are gone & the water is no longer clean & our natural resources are depleted & they’re trying to sell us bottled air like the fucking lorax, when nature becomes a luxury & the bees disappear and the food supply dwindles, at least you owned the libs, am I right?!

[evan loves worf @esjesjesj]

The forest service does lots of things, but they're the frontline in fighting wildfires. There is literally no issue Republicans aren't maximally evil on. You cannot hate them enough.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

WOW!

President Trump just completely turned on Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Alex Jones and Megyn Kelly.

This is probably his biggest mistake he's ever made. So much of the MAGA base looks up to these people, and this is going to get them questioning their loyalty to Trump.

If Trump can turn on these people simply because they disagree with him, he can turn on anyone.

TRUMP IS DONE!
He knows it!

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

Shutting down the National Forest Service is fucking insane. What the hell is Donald Trump doing? They’re just stripping the US government for parts like some hedge fund assholes, and people are going to be killed when fire season starts.

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

Breaking: Trump orders the dismantling of the US Forest Service.

All regional offices are being shut down and the research program destroyed.
