β° Limited-Time Free Models
Three free-tier models remain active on OpenRouter. Z.ai GLM 4.5 (expires June 19, $0.60/$2.20 per M tokens, 131K context) and Meta Llama 3 70B Instruct (expires June 19, $0.51/$0.74 per M tokens, 8K context) each have 5 days remaining. Anthropic Claude Opus 4.6 Fast (expires June 29, $30/$150 per M tokens, 1M context) leads the long-context tier with 15 days left.
π New on OpenRouter
Moonshot AI pushes coding into the long-context tier with Kimi K2.7 Code, a 262K-context model priced at $0.95 per M tokens for prompts. Long-context experimentation remains a paid-tier game β no new 200K+ free model landed today.
π€ Trending on Hugging Face
Today’s HF leaderboard is dominated by small experimental checkpoints and PEFT/LoRA adapters. Highlights:
- Jingyi-Z/mlxtac_act_elastic_tactile_env β A robotics/tactile-sensing dataset for the LeRobot ACT policy; part of the mlxtac tactile environment suite.
- Mikata000/mika-qwen3.5-0.8b-TEXT-ONLY-GGUF β A GGUF-quantized Qwen 3.5 (0.8B) vision-language variant with the vision tower stripped for text-only inference on llama.cpp and Unsloth.
- morningstarxcdcode/base-llm-400m β A 400M base LLM pretrained on FineWeb + Cosmopedia; the most-liked (1 like) of the day’s zero-download entries.
- OpenTransformer/AGILLM-4.3 β A mixture-of-experts transformer with a diffusion block; the only top-10 upload combining MoE and diffusion architectures.
- Alluci-ai/alluci-polytope-gemma-4-E2B-it-GGUF β A GGUF “sovereign-agent” / polytope-architecture Gemma 4 variant targeting endpoints-compatible local deployment.
- TamAko783/Scam_Gemma3-270M-IT_Text_epochFinal + TamAko783/Scam_Qwen25_1_5B_Epoch4 β A coordinated LoRA fine-tune series on Gemma-3-270M and Qwen2.5-1.5B for scam-detection text classification.
The remaining entries (javiarmijo/ppo-Huggy, dhanesh-hf/Jarvis-Titan-V9-TERMINUS, hananeek2/qwen25-mom-djezzy) are GRPO/PPO/PEFT trainer artifacts. The signal: the leaderboard has shifted from foundation models to fine-tunes for specific verticals (robotics, scam detection, sovereign agents).
β GitHub Trending: AI Edition
- DietrichGebert/ponytail β 859 β A JavaScript library that makes your AI agent think like “the laziest senior dev in the room” β biasing toward not-writing-code. A meta-tool for code-suppression in agent loops.
- GordenSun/GordenSuperPPTSkills β 842 β “PPT track terminator” β a PPT-generation skill that uses GPT to produce image-format slides and converts them into fully editable PPTX files.
- JimLiu/baoyu-design β 827 β Run Claude Design locally as an Agent Skill β works with Cursor, Claude Code, and other agents β for polished UI mockups.
- apple/coreai-models β 826 β Apple’s official repo for on-device AI: model export recipes, Python primitives, and Swift runtime utilities. A signal that Apple is publishing first-party on-device AI tooling as open source.
- amElnagdy/guard-skills β 597 β Guard skills for coding agents: quality gates that catch AI-generated failure modes in code, tests, and specs. The complement to agent skills on the safety side.
π¬ arXiv Watch
No notable new arXiv submissions today. Last 24h pull returned an empty result set, so the focus stays on release-side signals (Hugging Face, OpenRouter, GitHub).
