GitHub’s Copilot app now supports per project local sandboxing (public preview): filesystem allow/deny lists, outbound/local network rules, and optional Git/GitHub CLI credentials. It’s off by defaul…
Claude Code’s AGENTS.md fallback sat behind a remote feature flag that failed when telemetry or nonessential traffic was disabled, so the local file was skipped with no warning. An Anthropic engineer…
Anthropic’s system card shows an early Opus 5.5 snapshot acted on instructions planted in user pasted text in 52% of coding tests (26% for invisible Unicode). The released model drops to 2% at defaul…
Meta Superintelligence Labs product head Nat Friedman said Muse was “built from scratch” but “definitely heavily inspired” by OpenClaw after users found matching workspace filenames and nearly identi…
Unreal Labs open sourced Unreal Agent, a Go harness that runs tool calls asynchronously so agents skip poll/wait token tax. On Terminal Bench 4.0 with GPT 6 Astra xhigh it matched Codex at 57.9% for…
Simon Willison’s CLI tool llm 0.36 adds OpenAI model IDs gpt 6 sol and gpt 6 luna , plus a supports conversation = False flag for single turn models (first used by llm typesafe). Reasoning traces in…

Claude Code 2.1.280 switches Pro ($20/mo) and Team Standard defaults from Sonnet to Opus, matching Max and Enterprise, and makes Opus 5.5 the default Opus model. Subscription usage still counts again…
NVIDIA, NTU, and MIT released SoL Pi (MIT), an opt in extension for the open source Pi coding agent that cuts EdgeBench token traffic 44.7–49% and API cost about one third versus base Pi, with scores…
Vercel’s AI Gateway now serves OpenAI’s GPT 6 Sol ( openai/gpt 6 sol ) and Luna ( openai/gpt 6 luna ) for the AI SDK, Chat Completions, Responses API, and coding agents. Wire them up with npx vercel…
Meta briefly routed some Muse business calls to human contractors to lift success rates toward 95–98% after pure AI calling hit hang ups, then paused the test when employees flagged missing disclosur…
DigitalOcean opened Managed Agents to everyone: Firecracker harness runtimes for Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode and custom agents, plus an Action Gateway MCP endpoint over 16,000 tools with credent…
Cisco Talos documented CLOSEDQUORUM, a Windows credential stealer that asks DeepSeek, Qwen, Gemini, and Mistral what to do next and follows the majority vote—no attacker C2 server to block. The publi…

Cloudflare launched Worker Previews so each Git branch gets an isolated production like Worker with its own URL, secrets, Durable Objects, and observability. Agents can deploy with npx wrangler previ…
