Rival perfect scores built on OpenAI's GPT-5.6 and Anthropic's Claude Opus 5 reported $44.5 and $3.52 a problem.

ICYMI: NEAR Co-Founder @ilblackdragon joined @BitcoinSuisse_ to discuss the NEAR Protocol economy, and why preparing all systems for a post-AGI world matters more than trying to pace the frontier.
Watch the full episode 👇
New episode with @BitcoinSuisse_: how the @NEARProtocol economy works, why open source always wins, why I think pacing the frontier isn't possible and we need to focus on preparing all systems for a post-AGI world.

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash just went live on NEAR AI Cloud.
Not all models are private, if you are looking for fully private inference look for Private TEE models listed in the catalog.
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 is live on NEAR AI Cloud.
This version is better at coding, agentic tasks and reasoning, and finishes tasks faster with shorter outputs.
$0.30/M input, $1.20/M output.
