DeepSeek V4 Pro scores 80.6% on SWE-bench Verified at $1.74/M input tokens — 7x cheaper than Claude Opus 4.7. Real benchmarks, costs, and safety gaps.
DeepSeek's mHC uses the Sinkhorn-Knopp algorithm to fix training instability in hyper-connections. Here's how doubly stochastic matrices stabilize LLM scaling.
