Maxim AI has released Bifrost, an open-source AI gateway designed to unify access to multiple large language model providers. Bifrost offers a single OpenAI-compatible API endpoint that routes requests to services like AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, Google Gemini, and Anthropic's native API. This solution aims to simplify enterprise AI deployments by managing different authentication schemes, SDKs, and request protocols, while also providing built-in failover and governance capabilities.

Anthropic is retiring specific versions of its Claude 4 Opus and Sonnet models, claude-opus-4-20250514 and claude-sonnet-4-20250514, on June 15, 2026. This deprecation affects not only direct calls to these snapshot IDs but also the versioned aliases like `claude-opus-4-0` and `claude-sonnet-4-0` that resolve to them. Developers using these models should update their code to reference newer versions, such as `claude-opus-4-1`, and be aware that partner platforms like AWS Bedrock and Google Vertex AI may have different retirement schedules. Additionally, teams relying on mocked SDK tests or model-router fallback configurations need to implement integration tests against live APIs to ensure their systems do not silently fail after the June 15 deadline.

Anthropic launched Anthropic Academy, offering 17 free courses with completion certificates, accessible via Skilljar. The academy is divided into two paths: one for developers focusing on Claude Code and API integration, and another for non-technical founders covering effective interaction with Claude. While most courses are recommended, some advanced or enterprise-focused modules are suggested for skipping by indie hackers. AI
