MIT Technology Review: Three Reasons DeepSeek V4 Matters More Than R1
MIT Technology Review published an analysis arguing DeepSeek V4 will have a bigger impact than the R1 moment that crashed NVIDIA's stock in January. The three reasons: (1) V4-Pro is the largest open-weight model ever released and performs near the closed frontier, (2) the pricing at $0.14/M input tokens for Flash fundamentally changes the cost equation for agentic workloads, and (3) the MIT license removes the last barrier to enterprise adoption of Chinese-origin models. The piece frames V4 as the moment open-weight models achieve functional parity with closed ones.
