Beijing bar launches "Token for free drinks": Connect to Wi-Fi and you can get DeepSeek V4 Flash computing power for free AGI Bar, a bar in Beijing that specializes in programmer exchanges, recently launched an ingenious service - "Token for free drinks". After customers go to the store to make purchases and connect to the in-store Wi-Fi, they can obtain free API usage rights for the DeepSeek V4 Flash model, with unlimited calls, and all inferences are completed locally. According to information released by AGI Bar, the bar purchased NVIDIA DGX Spark AI workstation to provide DeepSeek V4 Flash computing power service. Customers only need to obtain the Base URL and API Key provided by the store, and then they can directly call the model in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Cherry Studio and other development tools that support the OpenAI API format. The experience is almost the same as that of cloud API. From online tools to offline consumption scenarios, AI computing power is "materializing". Public information shows that AGI Bar was founded by people who have long been involved in the AI ​​entrepreneurship field and currently has one store in Beijing and Shanghai. Midjourney founder David Holz also visited AGI Bar to communicate with developers during his previous visit to mainland China, which shows the influence of this bar in the AI ​​circle. The significance of this service is that AI applications are extending from traditional online software tools to real consumption scenarios. When developers can drink beer while running code using top open source models, "computing power" becomes a storefront infrastructure like Wi-Fi for the first time. Although it is still an exploration attempt in a single commercial space, as the cost of large-scale model inference continues to decline, more coffee shops, bars, and shared office spaces may include AI computing power as standard services in the future. When Token is used like tap water, the most down-to-earth entrance to inclusive AI may be hidden in the glass of craft beer on the street corner. via AI News (author: AI Base)
