Microsoft weighs adding an Azure-hosted DeepSeek V4 as a cheaper option inside Copilot Cowork

微软考虑为 Copilot Cowork 集成 DeepSeek V4

Copilot Cowork is switching from unlimited pricing to usage-based billing because users running hundreds of tasks per week drove costs too high. Microsoft is considering an optional, fine-tuned, safety-guarded DeepSeek V4 hosted on Azure. A working model exists but no final decision yet.

Why it matters: Two substantive shifts: Copilot Cowork moving to metered billing, and Microsoft considering a fine-tuned DeepSeek V4 on Azure as a cost-saving option. Axios confirms a working fine-tuned model but no final launch decision, so score stays at 78.
