⏰ 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.

🚨 Anthropic Warns AI May Begin Recursive Self-Improvement, Urges Global Pause

Anthropic published a stark warning that AI systems could soon achieve recursive self-improvement — the ability to build better versions of themselves without human involvement. In a series of posts covered by The New York Times, Reuters, Forbes, CNN, and Scientific American, the company urged AI labs worldwide to pause development on advanced models until safety frameworks are in place. An Anthropic blog post called for “AI nonproliferation” as a global priority, arguing that the next stage of AI evolution — machines that design and build their own successors — poses existential risks if left unchecked.

🇺🇸 Trump Signs AI Executive Order: Voluntary Model Reviews, No Mandates

President Trump signed an AI executive order asking American AI companies to voluntarily submit frontier models for national security testing — a lighter-touch approach than the sweeping Anthropic government ban ordered hours earlier. The White House is asking firms to allow the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to evaluate models before public release for cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Axios reports that “AI companies breathed a sigh of relief” at the voluntary framework, which sidesteps the mandatory review requirements that industry had opposed. Meanwhile, the DC Circuit Court is exploring an off-ramp in the Trump administration’s legal standoff with Anthropic over the separate government-wide ban.

Trump Cancels AI Executive Order, Bans Anthropic From Government — OpenAI Rushes In

In a dramatic evening of AI policy, President Trump has simultaneously postponed signing a major AI executive order and ordered all federal agencies to stop using Anthropic technology. The executive order — which would have established federal AI safety standards and testing requirements — was shelved after intense pressure from Silicon Valley and concerns it could weaken the U.S. tech edge. Separately, Trump ordered all military contractors and federal agencies to cease business with Anthropic, citing a standoff over AI safety and the Pentagon’s refusal to accept Anthropic’s usage restrictions. Hours later, OpenAI struck a deal with the Pentagon, announcing it would provide classified AI capabilities to the Department of Defense. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman defended the move, while a top researcher resigned in protest. The EFF called it a “weasel words” deal that won’t stop AI-powered surveillance.

🚀 Anthropic Hits $965B Valuation, Launches Claude Opus 4.8

Anthropic has closed a $65 billion Series H funding round at a post-money valuation of $965 billion, surpassing OpenAI to become the world’s most valuable AI startup (NYT, Bloomberg, Reuters). The company also announced Claude Opus 4.8, its latest flagship model now available on OpenRouter at $10/M tokens input (fast variant) and $5/M tokens input (standard), with 1M token context windows. Opus 4.8 introduces a new “dynamic workflow” tool that enables multi-step autonomous task execution, and early benchmarks show it leaves four times fewer code flaws unflagged than GPT-5.5 (TechCrunch, ZDNET). Meanwhile, Anthropic confirmed its upcoming Claude Mythos model family is “weeks away” from release — a model so powerful it has already raised cybersecurity concerns and prompted EU regulators to seek access (Reuters, Decrypt, Bloomberg). The bumper funding and product acceleration position Anthropic for a potential IPO later this year (TechCrunch).

🏛️ OpenAI to File for Trillion-Dollar IPO as Soon as Friday

OpenAI is preparing to confidentially file for an initial public offering as soon as this Friday, according to CNBC and Reuters sources. The IPO could value the company at over $1 trillion, making it one of the largest public market debuts in history — alongside SpaceX, which also unveiled its IPO filing this week. Fortune examines the big questions the filing may finally answer about OpenAI’s finances, governance, and path to AGI. In a parallel milestone, an OpenAI model has disproved a central conjecture in discrete geometry — an 80-year-old unsolved math problem — reported by The Guardian and OpenAI’s own blog.

🚀 DeepSeek Makes 75% V4-Pro Price Cut Permanent

DeepSeek has permanently slashed prices on its flagship V4-Pro model by 75%, escalating the global AI pricing war. The move makes V4-Pro the best bang-for-buck model on the market — output tokens are now priced at least 34× below GPT-5.5, according to comparisons by the-decoder.com. Reuters reports the price cut comes as DeepSeek eyes a new funding round, while the South China Morning Post notes the model now tops global value rankings. The steep discount locks in a price advantage that challenges US AI leaders on cost.

🔥 Anthropic Investigates Reports of Unauthorized Access to Mythos AI

Anthropic is investigating claims that a rogue group gained unauthorized access to its advanced Mythos AI model — a system the company itself has described as a cybersecurity “reckoning.” Reports from Bloomberg, The Guardian, and WIRED indicate that U.S. Treasury Secretary Powell and Secretary Bessent have briefed major banks on the situation. The controversy has escalated to the highest levels of government, with Axios reporting Anthropic withheld the Mythos Preview model specifically because its hacking capabilities were deemed too powerful.

OpenAI has officially launched GPT-5.5, codenamed “Spud,” its latest flagship large language model. The new model is now the default for ChatGPT and is available via the API. Early benchmarks show significant improvements in reasoning, coding, and long-context tasks over GPT-5.

Alongside the model, OpenAI introduced Daybreak, a cybersecurity platform powered by GPT-5.5 that automatically discovers and validates software vulnerabilities — reportedly uncovering 7× more flaws than traditional tools. The launch was notably quirky: OpenAI let GPT-5.5 plan its own release party, a move that drew attention from Business Insider and others.
