# April 2026: GPT-5.5, Opus 4.7, DeepSeek V4, AI Trust Issues, Patrol MCP

**[Code with Andrea](https://daily.dev/sources/codewithandrea)** · 6 min read · 4 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A monthly newsletter covering April 2026 AI and Flutter developments. Three major model launches shipped: GPT-5.5, Claude Opus 4.7, and DeepSeek V4. Despite record benchmark scores, developer trust in AI tools is declining due to real-world quality degradation and stricter usage limits. DeepSeek V4 is highlighted for its agent-optimized architecture and 1M context window at lower cost. Flutter news includes the Material/Cupertino code freeze moving those packages out of the SDK, and Dart/Flutter's AI strategy for 2026. Patrol MCP is introduced as a way for AI agents to write and run E2E tests on mobile apps. The author also promotes their Agentic Coding Toolkit for Flutter.
