Story

Despite AI-generated articles claiming V4 launched, Manifold prediction market remains unresolved. V4 Lite surfaced Feb 23 with impressive SVG generation (Xbox controller in 54 lines of code). CNBC reports DeepSeek is "set to release" V4 with Nasdaq bracing for impact. The 1M context upgrade from Feb 11 may be a soft-launch component. Leaked benchmarks unverified: 90% HumanEval, 80%+ SWE-bench. Action: Don't restructure your stack yet. Have your LLM abstraction layer ready to swap when V4 officially drops.
