Claude Code is free to install but not free to run. The command-line tool itself is free and open-source, so downloading it costs nothing, but every task it performs calls a Claude model, and that usage is what you pay for. You can cover it with a paid Claude Pro or Max plan, with pay-per-token […]

As of July 2026, DeepSeek R2 still has not launched, and DeepSeek has never confirmed a release date. The company that shook the AI world with R1 in early 2025 spent 2026 shipping something else entirely, the DeepSeek V4 series, while its next dedicated reasoning model stayed locked behind closed doors. Reports point to founder […]

GLM 5.5 is reportedly expected in August 2026, according to a June 30 report from CGTN on Zhipu AI. That would make it the direct successor to GLM-5.2, the open-weight model that shipped on June 13 and immediately became the highest-scoring open-source model on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index with a score of 51. Zhipu […]

Yes, Claude AI is free. You can sign up at claude.ai with no credit card and start chatting straight away, and as of July 1, 2026 the free plan runs Claude Sonnet 5, Anthropic’s newest default model. The free tier gives you roughly 15 to 40 messages every 5 hours, plus web search, file uploads, […]

GLM pricing is the headline reason developers keep switching to Zhipu AI’s models. The flagship GLM-5.2 costs just $1.40 per million input tokens and $4.40 per million output on the official API, roughly one-sixth of what GPT-5.5 charges, and the older GLM-4.7 is cheaper still. You can also use GLM free in the browser, and […]

On June 30, 2026, Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 5, the newest version of its balanced mid tier model and the most agentic Sonnet the company has ever shipped. It is the direct successor to Sonnet 4.6, and it lands with one clear pitch: near Opus 4.8 quality at a fraction of the cost. The headline […]

Meituan has open-sourced LongCat-2.0, a 1.6 trillion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model with a native 1-million-token context window, released on June 30, 2026 under a permissive MIT license. It is the model that quietly topped global developer charts on OpenRouter for two months under the codename “Owl Alpha”, and Meituan says it is the first trillion-parameter model trained […]

GLM is the family of large language models built by Zhipu AI, the Chinese lab now trading as Z.ai. If you typed “what is GLM” expecting the statistics term or the Bosch laser measure, this is the other one: GLM is a direct open-weight rival to ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, and its current flagship GLM-5.2 […]

Grok 4.5 is real, but you can’t use it yet. Elon Musk confirmed on June 28, 2026 that xAI’s newest model is already running in private beta with teams at SpaceX and Tesla, built on a fresh V9 foundation with roughly 1.5 trillion parameters. What he didn’t give is the one thing everyone wants: a […]

Most AI models people call “open source” are not actually open source. They are open-weight, a narrower thing, and the gap between the two decides what you can legally do with a model, how much you can trust it, and whether anyone could ever rebuild it. In October 2024 the Open Source Initiative finally drew […]
