DeepSeek's 75-Cent Search, Hybrid Reasoning Agents, and Programming Language Wars
Daily AI newsletter: chaosagents.ai
DeepSeek launched a search and fetch API at 75 cents per thousand requests—cheap enough to change the economics of agentic AI, and early tests show it might outperform Claude. Plus: hybrid reasoning agents that think silently and talk only when they act, a bot that wastes scammers' time, and a programming language designed to confuse LLMs.
