DeepSeek made its 75% price cut on the V4-Pro model permanent, reducing frontier-grade coding costs by roughly 4x. OpenCode surpassed Cursor as the most-used coding agent, reaching over 172,000 GitHub stars.", "body_md": "AI's money is splitting in two right now: valuations are soaring into the trillions, while the cost of actually building keeps crashing. Three things landed for builders — and two of them you can act on today.\n\nHere's the 2-minute video version if you want the quick pass first:\n\nAnthropic filed a **confidential IPO** at a **965-billion-dollar valuation**, topping OpenAI for the first time after a 65-billion-dollar raise.\n\n**Why it matters:** the labs you pay for every day are heading to the public market. That usually brings pressure on pricing and packaging — so it's worth keeping an eye on what happens to your subscription costs and rate limits.\n\nFollow-up to DeepSeek's earlier discounting: it just made the **75% cut on its flagship V4-Pro permanent**.\n\n**Why it matters:** frontier-grade coding just got about 4x cheaper, so it's a strong option to route bulk work to. One real caution though — it's a **Chinese-origin API**, so keep sensitive or proprietary code off it and reserve it for the work where that's not a concern.\n\n**OpenCode** passed Cursor to become the most-used coding agent, with **172K-plus GitHub stars**.\n\n**Why it matters:** pair OpenCode (free) with cheap DeepSeek (87 cents per million) and you've got a real dev setup **without paying for Claude's or OpenAI's top tiers**. That's the practical takeaway from today's two-sided move: the labs are worth a fortune, yet you can build for almost nothing.\n\n*The money split two ways at once — valuations up, costs down.
