Merged summary
TL;DR - This technology-news roundup highlights major AI business and infrastructure developments, led by DeepSeek’s time-based API pricing, expanded Apple–Alibaba model collaboration, and a widespread Claude service outage.

- DeepSeek’s peak/off-peak pricing took effect August 17: off-peak API usage costs half as much, while peak DeepSeek V4 Pro output reaches ¥27 per million tokens.
- Apple and Alibaba reportedly expanded their China AI partnership beyond Qwen integration to jointly training a stronger market-specific language model.
- Anthropic reported a major outage affecting authentication and requests across Claude.ai, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork, while Claude Console and API remained operational.
- Alibaba’s Qianwen Office agent added GLM-5.3 and DeepSeek V4 Pro alongside Qwen3.8-Max, broadening access to Chinese flagship models.
