A dated fact check of the DeepSeek V4 pre-release story, updated for Flash 0731 and Pro 0813.

DeepSeek V4 Pro has moved to the 0813 API build without changing its callable model name. Here is what changed for agents, Responses API, Codex, and production validation.

OpenAI named Astra its next major model on August 1, but has not confirmed it as GPT-6 or published a release date. Track verified milestones and developer readiness.

OpenAI named Astra but has not tied it to GPT-6 or released an API. Compare that research signal with GPT-5.6's live routes, current pricing, and migration path.
