DeepSeek V4 Pro: Ignites AI Price War With Grok 4.6

DeepSeek V4 Pro and Grok 4.6 hit the market on the same day, igniting a fresh round of the AI price war with flagship performance priced near one-tenth of Fable 5. The move undercuts prior cost barriers and signals the start of AI infrastructure rollout rather than any bubble burst. Demand for intelligence remains unlimited; only high pricing previously limited adoption. Lower costs now convert advanced models into everyday productivity tools, mirroring how electricity scaled from luxury to essential. Both domestic and U.S. offerings benefit when they deliver strong capability at accessible rates.
