DeepSeek releases V4-Pro-0813 with DSpark speculative decoding and stronger agentic benchmarks
DeepSeek released DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813, the official version superseding the V4-Pro preview, built on the same model structure with an added DSpark speculative decoding module. The company reports gains over the preview on benchmarks including Terminal Bench 2.1 (87.9 vs 72.1), DeepSWE (62.7 vs 12.8) and NL2Repo (61.5 vs 38.5), and says the model is broadly competitive with the strongest proprietary models. The release ships without a Jinja chat template, instead providing an encoding folder, and adds low, high and max levels to the reasoning_effort parameter; weights are MIT licensed and vLLM and SGLang launch commands are documented.

Anthropic CEO Amodei says compute is the company's deepest business dilemma days before record IPO
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei told a JPMorgan investor event in New York that compute is the deepest business dilemma the company faces, since capacity must be bought one to two years ahead without knowing whether revenue will justify the cost. Anthropic has committed nearly $901 billion, mostly to compute and chips, with roughly $71 billion due by September 2027, according to Bloomberg. Amodei said gross margins and a large cash balance cushion the risk, and Anthropic plans to raise up to $64.4 billion in its Nov. 19 IPO plus $26 billion in a private placement, which Bloomberg reports would make it the largest IPO ever.
Elon Musk and other tech executives sign petition urging Nvidia to reinstate Jensen Huang
A petition calling on Nvidia to reinstate recently ousted CEO Jensen Huang has drawn more than 115,000 signatures as of Saturday afternoon, according to the petition website, with signers including Elon Musk, Amjad Masad and Tim Sweeney. The petition says Huang was removed without meaningful due process and asks the board to bring him back pending an independent investigation. Huang resigned on Thursday after confessing to an affair with a chip executive identified by U.S. intelligence as a suspected Chinese spy, and Nvidia named CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO.
Asian governments respond to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's exit
Asian governments reacted to Jensen Huang's departure from Nvidia by confirming chip supply commitments, monitoring local projects, or addressing related investigations. South Korea's science ministry said Nvidia reaffirmed plans to supply 260,000 advanced GPUs, while Taiwan's economy minister said the exit is unlikely to significantly change global AI industry growth. Nvidia's board launched an independent investigation on November 8 after reports Huang was targeted by a Chinese spy operation, and Huang admitted to an affair with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed.
