DeepSeek Releases V4.1-Flash

On benchmarks, the model comes close to Kimi K3, GPT-5.6 Sol, and Claude Opus 5, and on some of them it comes out ahead. Pricing is $0.3/$1.2 per million input/output tokens, and during off-peak hours it drops by half again.

The model is multimodal, and in the API it replaces V4-Flash and V4-Flash-Vision-Exp. The Flash/Pro/Vision switch is gone from the web, it's now a single bot with a single window for text and images.

Is DeepSeek back on top?

❤️ — Yes, top-tier model!
🔥 — No, they are barely catching up

Suno Releases v6

Suno has released v6, the first models trained together with Warner Music Group, BMG, and Believe, the major labels that sued the startup (in fact, there were no lawsuits with the latter two—the conflicts were settled through agreements).

The basic v6 and experimental v6-wild are available only with a subscription, while v6-mini is free for everyone. With v6, you can also edit only certain parts of finished songs, generate mashups, create samples, and turn images and videos into music.

You can try it here.

OpenAI says it has solved the Navier–Stokes problem.

The proof was produced by a group of 10,000 AI agents running on an internal model that the company says is more powerful than GPT-6 Astra. It took 88 hours and 130 billion output tokens.

The agents showed that the flow of a viscous fluid under a smooth external force accelerates to infinite speed in finite time—meaning the equations stop describing reality. OpenAI does not intend to claim the $1 million prize.

There are already questions about the result: mathematician Tristan Buckmaster and Levent Alpöge of Anthropic today released their own proofs for related equations, along with a statement describing how OpenAI proposed publishing the Navier–Stokes work without Alpöge, because he works for a competitor.

Kenya's Essay-Writing Industry Collapsed Two Years After ChatGPT's Launch

For more than a decade, tens of thousands of young Kenyans made a living writing college essays for students in the United States, Britain and elsewhere. Researchers estimated that at least 40,000 people in Nairobi alone were being paid to complete other students' homework at the industry's peak.

That industry has now largely collapsed, undone within two years of ChatGPT's release in late 2022, as students turned to AI tools that produce passable academic prose in minutes. One writer profiled by the Times, Teresios Bundi, moved to Nairobi for university in 2011 and, after graduating, chose essay writing over a career in public health. He charged $40 to $70 per paper and estimates he wrote more than 2,500 essays over twelve years.

Stop Complaining, Use AI, and Get Rich, Millionaire Tells Unemployed Young People

AI has made it easier than ever to start a business, says 31-year-old millionaire Timothy Armoo. Tools like ChatGPT and Claude are virtually free, while social media gives everybody direct access to an audience; the barrier to entry for entrepreneurs is lower than ever.

"AI enables you to think of an idea and put it out into the world. And social media means that you don't need to pay someone in order to do it. You just need to spend time on the platform and just keep posting," he explains.

Armoo was born in London but lived with his grandmother in Ghana until the age of 10. He grew up in a low-income immigrant family and, at 14, launched an online tutoring service. By 27, he became a millionaire after selling his marketing company.

Youth unemployment in the UK has reached 16.2% this year. Goldman Sachs says AI adoption is hitting entry-level jobs three times harder than other roles, making it especially difficult for young people to land their first job.

Can anyone become a millionaire with AI?

❤️ — Yes, there are tons of opportunities
🤔 — Easy to say when you're already a millionaire
