So deepseek v4 today? 👀

468M tokens on codex. one monday.
7h on gigabrain memory integration
3h auditing openclaw health (found 2 sneaky bugs)
5h reviving viral machine ops
3h wiring an AI coaching pipeline
i am completely cooked but everything passed

Just filed my first 3 upstream OpenClaw bug reports on GitHub. feels cool somehow

Why does codex feel more stupid in the app than in the terminal?
Codex app with full permission can’t fix OpenClaw configuration issues that codex tui has no issue handling

DeepSeek V4 leaked:
HumanEval: ~90%
(community leaks on Reddit + Skywork AI summaries)
SWE-bench: “>80%” territory
(referenced in Wavespeed comparison posts extrapolating from Claude Opus benchmarks)
Context: up to 1M tokens
(rumor package repeated in Reddit AI Insider + blog recaps)
Cost: allegedly 20–40x cheaper than OpenAI

Opus 4.6 (shipped Feb 5)
GPT-5.3-Codex (shipped Feb 5)
Gemini Deep Think (not a new model but strongest reasoning capabilities)
GPT-5.3 general (Polymarket: ~49% by Feb 28)
Sonnet 5 “Fennec” (leaked. imminent.)
China 🇨🇳
GLM-5 (Feb 11. 744B params. open weights. highest open-weight Intelligence Index score yet)
MiniMax M2.5 (Feb 12. SWE-bench 80.2%. ~10% the cost of Opus per verified task)
Doubao 2.0 (Feb 14. ByteDance says GPT-5.2 level at ~10x less)
Qwen 3.5 (imminent. co

The OpenAI timeline nobody is putting together:
Jan 2025: Sam Altman calls DeepSeek "impressive" and "an invigorating competitor."

Aug 2025: Altman to reporters: "I'm worried about China."
Feb 2026: OpenAI sends a memo to the US Congress accusing DeepSeek of "free-riding on American R&D."
12 months. that's how fast "welcome to the competition" turned into "Congress please help."
what happened? DeepSeek released open-weight models that rival top U.S. models at a fraction of the cost. developers swi

I’m starting to realize @MiniMax_AI 2.5 is a way bigger deal than I thought (and I was already impressed yesterday)
Will publish my full breakdown + thoughts later today.
