DeepSeek V4 Resets Open-Source Pricing, DOJ Backs xAI in Colorado, and AI Costs Outpace Headcount

About this production

DeepSeek released V4 Pro on Friday — a 1.6 trillion parameter open-weight model priced at roughly one-fifth the cost of GPT-5.5, immediately pressuring proprietary model economics across the industry. On the deployment front, Meta signed a deal to run millions of AWS Graviton CPUs for agentic AI workloads, while Home Depot reported its AI voice agent identifies customer intent in ten seconds and resolves calls four times faster than legacy menu systems. Next week, watch for Anthropic's IPO valuation signals as the company navigates compounding product and pricing pressures, and monitor whether Colorado's AI regulation law survives the DOJ intervention filed Friday on behalf of xAI.
