Huang Renxun has left Beijing, and NVIDIA has not disclosed whether Huang Renxun met with the DeepSeek founder.

According to Bitget market data, Hong Kong-listed software application stocks have continued to plunge sharply. Qunhe Technology, Zhipu AI, and Unisound all fell more than 10%; MiniMax dropped over 9%; while Maifushi, Kingdee International, and other related stocks declined by 5%.

On-chain data shows that the LAPTOP multi-sig address received 100 million tokens (10% of the total supply) roughly 7 days before the token’s launch. During the launch period, the address transferred and distributed approximately 42.5 million tokens: around 15.5 million to market maker GSR, and another ~14.5 million to an unlabeled address. The community has noted that this token allocation deviates significantly from the project’s disclosed tokenomics, sparking widespread questions. However, Hunter Biden responded this morning, stating he did not profit from the token issuance.

Dongcha Beating AI News Flash: DeepSeek is consolidating its models. The chat interface has merged its three original modes — "Fast", "Expert", and "Image Recognition" — into a single V4.1 Flash model that handles daily conversations, complex reasoning, and image understanding. The API segment is undergoing the same consolidation. The original V4 Flash and V4 Flash Vision Exp models have been taken offline, with their old model IDs temporarily reassigned to V4.1 Flash. Currently, only two main models remain: V4.1 Flash and V4 Pro. After 12:00 on September 14, V4 Pro will also be taken offline, with all requests routed to V4.1 Flash and billed at the Flash model’s rate. Until the V4.1 Pro model launches, DeepSeek will effectively rely on V4.1 Flash as its primary model for both chat and API services.

Beating AI Express News: DeepSeek officially launches V4.1 Flash. The new model has a total of 552 billion parameters, adopts a brand-new Causal-Encoder-Decoder architecture, and natively supports image understanding. It is also currently the smallest model in DeepSeek’s new architecture series. This architecture separates input and output processing: only 8 billion parameters are activated when reading input, and 16 billion parameters are activated when generating responses. DeepSeek states that this design allows the 552B large model to keep inference costs low. After new pre-training and larger-scale reinforcement learning, V4.1 Flash has outperformed V4 Pro in official benchmarks. Caching has also been significantly compressed: compared to the previous generation, V4.1 Flash cuts HBM memory demand to 1/4 and SSD storage demand to 1/8, mainly reducing costs for long contexts and repeated AI agent calls. V4.1 Flash is now available via API; users can access it by using the model name "deepseek-flash".

Overnight, Hunter Biden, son of former US President Joe Biden, launched the meme coin "LAPTOP". However, given Hunter Biden's well-documented history of controversies, the token failed to gain traction in the crypto market after its launch, opening high before trading lower. This morning, the official account for "LAPTOP" was suspended. Shortly after, Hunter Biden posted comments seeking engagement under tweets from Cobie and Jesse, key members of Base, but was met with a cold shoulder—neither directly replied to his comments, and their subsequent posts also did not address him by name.
