ASEAN Perspective

DeepSeek V4 in Southeast Asia

RECATOOLS Verdict

DeepSeek V4 continues the lab's pattern of near-frontier capability at a fraction of the price, now with a full 1M context and a permissive MIT license that makes self-hosting and commercial use straightforward. It is one of the strongest open-weights options for reasoning and coding in 2026.

The low API pricing and open weights are very ASEAN-friendly for cost-sensitive teams; the usual data-governance considerations around a China-based API apply, mitigated by the self-host route.
