LATEST DEVELOPMENTS
DeepSeek’s new V4 AI models will cost up to 4x more, introducing peak/off-peak pricing. Despite hikes, they remain cheaper than rivals like OpenAI and Moonshot.
🔍 Details
DeepSeek announced V4 Pro and V4 Flash models.
Prices rise fourfold starting August 16.
Peak pricing: V4 Pro at $3.96 per 1M tokens; V4 Flash at $1.32.
Off-peak pricing: Half the peak cost ($1.98 for Pro, $0.66 for Flash).
Earlier “permanent discounts” were reversed.
Still cheaper than competitors: Moonshot’s Kimi K3 ($15) and OpenAI GPT-5.6 Sol ($30).
OpenAI’s budget model Luna ($1.20) undercuts DeepSeek Flash peak pricing.
💡 Takeaway: DeepSeek’s affordability edge shrinks with steep price hikes, but it remains a budget-friendly option compared to most rivals, except OpenAI’s low-cost Luna.
AI is automating tasks, but Microsoft and LinkedIn say emotional intelligence and human connection, not technical skills, will define future leadership.
🔍 Details
AI now handles complex tasks like coding and contracts.
Data shows leaders prioritize soft skills over technical expertise.
Emotional intelligence and authentic human connection are key.
Workplace stress and loneliness are rising, creating trust gaps.
Leaders must build community and foster genuine relationships.
💡 Takeaway: In an AI-driven workplace, the most valuable skill isn’t coding, it’s emotional intelligence. Leaders who connect authentically will thrive.
