DeepSeek is set to launch its next-generation AI model, V4, in mid-February 2026 with a focus on elite coding capabilities. Internal tests suggest V4 could surpass rivals like Anthropic Claude Opus 4.5, which currently leads the market with an 80.9% SWE-bench score. The model features breakthroughs in handling extremely long coding prompts for complex software projects. By delivering high-end performance at lower costs, DeepSeek is fundamentally dismantling the AI compute moat. 🚀
