Hire an AI programmer for 1.3 yuan

DeepSeek has pushed V4.1 Flash to version 1017, open-sourced the weights under the MIT License, and scored 77% on DeepSWE v1.1—beating Opus 5. Each task costs just 1.3 yuan. The official site also quietly launched a search-crawling API at 5 yuan per thousand calls, with the first two weeks free through certain channels. They’re benchmarking it against Opus 5; they didn’t even dare mention 5.5.

With this open-source price-slashing play, the valuation anchors for all those tokens in the AI sector whose stories rely on selling compute and APIs have been slammed straight into the floor. Any spike in the market is probably market makers using the good news to offload; a pullback is the main trend.

Brothers holding AI-themed coins, what’s your cost basis? Planning to average down, or heading to the rooftop to get in line?
