DeepSeek's 75-Cent Search, Hybrid Reasoning Agents, and Programming Language Wars

Daily AI newsletter: chaosagents.ai DeepSeek launched a search and fetch API at 75 cents per thousand requests—cheap enough to change the economics of agentic AI, and early tests show it might outperform Claude. Plus: hybrid reasoning agents that think silently and talk only when they act, a bot that wastes scammers' time, and a programming language designed to confuse LLMs. Links we mentioned: DeepSeek Search API (https://api-docs.deepseek.com/guides/search) Hybrid Reasoning Agents paper (https://huggingface.co/papers/2610.18861?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email) CallSitter GitHub (github.com/szaranczuk/callsitter) KillSwitch GitHub (https://blog.picheta.me/post/killswitch-lang/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email) Find us: chaosagents.ai | YouTube @ChaosAgentsAI | TikTok @chaos.agents | IG @chaosagents.ai
