DeepSeek Just Matched Opus 5 for 15 Cents

DeepSeek's V4.1 Flash just landed at 15 cents per million input tokens and 60 cents per million output, and it benchmarks on par with Opus 5. Nick and Jack break down what it means when frontier-level intelligence costs almost nothing, and why they'll be running one in the background 24/7. Then: is GPT-6 Astra already nerfed? The extra-high reasoning setting appears to use less quota than medium, and the internet's "gun bench" comparisons are not convincing anyone. Apple unveiled the folding iPhone Duo, and 18 AI models now run entirely on-device, so the guys cover how to actually run a local model on your phone. New Ramp data shows AI token prices fell 41% while total business spend on AI went up, with top firms spending $8K a month per employee. Plus listener Q&A: what the next AI breakthrough will be, whether kids growing up with instant answers will value information, and whether you should keep podcasting solo when guests are hard to book.
