DeepSeek releases its efficient V4.1-Flash model for long-horizon agents, while OpenAI launches a public beta for its Agents API, expands GPT-6 Astra, introduces a finance chatbot, and releases GPT-Live-1.
DeepSeek's new V4.1-Flash model reduces memory strain by keeping only 16 billion of its 552 billion parameters active per token. The update cuts KV cache needs to a quarter of its predecessor.
The managed service lets developers build cloud agents that execute code and run autonomously for hours. It carries no extra fees beyond standard token usage.
OpenAI rolled out GPT-6 Astra for coding and cybersecurity tasks, concurrently topping open math benchmarks. The resulting compute demand forced a temporary pause on new Pro subscriptions.
Powered by GPT-6 Astra, the tailored chatbot helps finance professionals develop research and execute modeling calculations. The platform integrates built-in financial data to generate client-ready materials.
The new model allows applications to talk and listen simultaneously without turn-taking delays. Priced at five cents per minute, it scored 80.1 percent in interactivity tests.
