DeepSeek-V4 is coming! With Huawei Ascend support, still the 'price butcher'

DeepSeek has announced the upcoming release of DeepSeek-V4, its next-generation large language model. The new model will be powered by Huawei's Ascend AI chips, marking a significant partnership between the two companies. DeepSeek continues to pursue an aggressive pricing strategy, maintaining its reputation as a 'price butcher' in the AI industry. The move is expected to intensify competition in the rapidly evolving AI model market, particularly against other low-cost providers.
