DeepSeek V4 graduated from preview to general availability with a 1M-token context window, V4-Pro and V4-Flash variants, MIT-licensed open weights, and the AI industry's first structural peak/off-peak API surge pricing.
Notion Agents gained calendar tools: the AI can check schedules, reschedule meetings, send invites, and create scheduling links via natural language in Notion chat. Requires connecting a calendar under Settings.
DeepSeek introduced peak-hour pricing for its V4 API — token rates double during Beijing business hours (9–12 and 14–18 CST). The deepseek-chat alias retires July 24; migration to deepseek-v4-flash or deepseek-v4-pro is mandatory.
LM Studio released Bionic — a new dedicated AI agent for local open-source models (Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek, Gemma). Fully local-first: no data leaves the device. A direct alternative to Claude Code and Codex for developers with sensitive data.
DeepSeek will deactivate legacy aliases deepseek-chat and deepseek-reasoner on July 24, 2026 at 15:59 UTC. Developers must update calls to deepseek-v4-pro or deepseek-v4-flash — note critical mapping caveat for deepseek-reasoner.
DeepSeek's official V4 release is coming mid-July with a 1-million-token context window and the platform's first-ever peak/off-peak API pricing — calls during Beijing business hours will cost 2x the off-peak rate.
Notion released version 3.6 on July 1, 2026, introducing External Agents support (Claude and Cursor as the first two), native Excel and PowerPoint file handling for Notion AI, speaker labels in meeting notes, and expanded MCP connections with stronger admin controls.
Notion AI added External Agents — Claude and Cursor are the first external AI agents available directly in Notion. Shared multi-agent workflows let teams automate end-to-end processes. Five new MCP connections were added including Mixpanel, Miro, and Box.
