Microsoft brings Copilot apps together ahead of ‘super app' overhaul
Microsoft will bring its two Copilot apps into a unified interface for consumer and work users, part of a wider drive to create a Copilot "super app" that consolidates various features.

Until now, Microsoft has offered two Copilot apps across web, desktop and mobile platforms: a simplified, consumer-focused Copilot app, and Microsoft 365 Copilot, which combines the AI assistant with access to Microsoft's productivity apps and files. 

Microsoft on Thursday announced an "updated Copilot app" aimed at providing a "simpler, more cohesive experience" for personal and work users.  

For users of the consumer Copilot app, the update will provide access to Microsoft 365 tools such as Word, Excel, and Outlook from within Copilot, as well as the ability to connect email, calendars and cloud storage.

DeepSeek raises some V4 prices by more than 10x as AI demand strains capacity
One of AI vendor DeepSeek's biggest selling points has been its ultra-low price point, but that party's about to end.

The Chinese model provider is raising API pricing for its V4 model family by notable margins, in some cases by more than 1,100%. The increases may not be that dramatic for all, though; the company is encouraging "more flexible workload scheduling," with peak rates and half-price off-peak rates.

The news was tucked into the announcement of the general availability (GA) of DeepSeek V4-Pro and upgrades to VR-Flash. The new pricing takes effect for most parts of the world on August 16.

"On paper, at peak, against the right comparator, DeepSeek's price advantage does disappear, and in places inverts," said Sanchit Vir Gogia, chief analyst at Greyhound Research. But in practice, "the schedule's own clock and cache hand most of it back to any buyer paying attention."

How Flash and Pro compare now The new API pricing structure is as follows:

Flash is now $0.22 per million input tokens (cache miss) and $0.66 per million output tokens off-peak; and $0.44 per million input tokens (cache miss) and $1.32 per million output tokens at peak.
This is up from the flat rate of $0.14 for inputs (cache miss),
