AI Devtools Radar #3: DeepSeek doubles peak-hour pricing, GitHub Copilot drops two Gemini models, mem0's delete_all() finally deletes everything
The radar watched 63 sources across 32 tools this window and published 32 changes; these are the ten worth your attention, ranked. Every item carries the before/after evidence the pipeline captured on the web page.
DeepSeek API — Peak/off-peak pricing policy coming to DeepSeek API service
DeepSeek will charge 2x the regular price during peak hours (9:00–12:00 and 14:00–18:00 Beijing time) once the policy takes effect; no effective date yet. Batch jobs and anything latency-tolerant are worth shifting off-peak before the bill shows up.
GitHub Copilot — Gemini 2.5 Pro and Gemini 3 Flash models deprecated in GitHub Copilot
As of July 31, GitHub Copilot dropped Gemini 2.5 Pro and Gemini 3 Flash across Chat, inline edits, and agent mode. Copilot Enterprise admins need to enable Gemini 3.1 Pro (Preview) and Gemini 3.6 Flash through policy settings; anyone still pinned to the old names loses access outright.
DeepSeek API — deepseek-chat and deepseek-reasoner models deprecated with sunset date July 24, 2026
The deepseek-chat and deepseek-reasoner model names were retired on July 24; both now map to deepseek-v4-flash's non-thinking and thinking modes. Code still calling the old names is running against a renamed model, not the one it was tested against.
Vercel AI SDK — Anthropic SDK now reports thinking tokens as reasoning token usage
The Anthropic provider in Vercel's AI SDK now reports thinking tokens under reasoning token usage instead of wherever they landed before. Anything reading token usage to track cost, quota, or reasoning-mode spend should recheck its math after upgrading.
OpenAI API — Priority processing renamed to Fast mode with updated performance positioning
OpenAI is replacing Priority Processing with Fast mode; existing Priority Processing traffic migrates automatically. Behavior should carry over, but anything hardcoded to the old name in docs, dashboards, or billing exports needs updating.
Mem0 — Mem0 Python SDK: delete_all() now paginates through vector store in batches of 1000
mem0's Python delete_all() used to list the vector store once and stop, so accounts with more memories than a single page (most stores default to around 100) had the rest silently left behind. It now paginates in batches of 1000. Anyone who called delete_all() for compliance or privacy reasons before this fix should confirm the data actually left the store.
GitHub Copilot — GitHub Copilot app now has a dedicated access policy separate from Copilot CLI
The Copilot app used to inherit its access rules from the Copilot CLI policy; it now has its own, with the same three options (enabled everywhere, disabled everywhere, or let organizations decide). Admins who disabled the CLI to keep the app off will find the app now needs its own policy set.
Neon — Project-level permissions feature released for Neon
Neon now lets you grant access at the project level instead of only across the whole organization. If contractors or partial teams have had org-wide access purely because project scoping did not exist, that workaround is no longer necessary.
Vercel AI SDK — Regional inference now available on AI Gateway with US/EU pinning
Vercel's AI Gateway can now pin requests to the US or EU with a single field, working across every provider behind the gateway, and returns the serving region on each response. Relevant if data residency rules have been blocking use of the gateway at all.
Together AI — Kimi K3 model pricing introduced with input/output rates and cache option
Kimi K3 is now priced on Together AI at $3.00 per million input tokens and $15.00 output, with a $0.30 cached-input rate. A concrete number to put next to whatever you are currently paying for a comparable model.
