DeepSeek slashes model prices, Cursor Composer challenges Opus

DeepSeek has permanently reduced the price of its V4 Pro model by 75%, making it the most cost-effective frontier model for agent workloads. This move effectively lowers the cost of running autonomous AI agents overnight. Additionally, Cursor has released Composer 2.5, an in-house model that now rivals Claude Opus 4.7 and GPT 5.5 on agent benchmarks while being significantly cheaper. AI

IMPACT DeepSeek's price cuts make running autonomous agents significantly more affordable, while Cursor's Composer 2.5 offers a cost-effective alternative to top-tier models for agent tasks.
