The 5-Day AI Agents Intensive course from Google and Kaggle runs June 15-19, 2026. The updated curriculum adds vibe coding workflows and production deployment, building on the original edition that reached 1.5 million learners.
Anthropic shipped Claude Code 2.1.172 on June 10, adding support for sub-agents that can delegate to their own sub-agents, up to five levels deep. The update also improves AWS Bedrock region detection and adds search to the plugin marketplace.
Two new capabilities entered public beta on the Claude Platform on June 9: scheduled deployments that fire agents on a cron without any infrastructure you build, and vault-stored environment variables that keep API keys away from the model entirely.
In a new conversation marking Claude Code's first year, Anthropic engineers including Boris Cherny walk through how the tool went from two Slack reactions to developers running thousands of agents, and the working habits that changed along the way: verification, routines, auto mode, and loop.
GitHub shipped the Copilot SDK to general availability on June 2, adding Rust and Java to its launch languages, shipping custom tool support and MCP integration, and opening the SDK to users who don't have a Copilot subscription via bring-your-own-key.
A new report from Anthropic's safety institute documents how Claude went from authoring almost none of the company's code in early 2025 to more than 80% of merged production commits by May 2026. The paper also proposes a verifiable global pause mechanism for frontier AI development.
Kiro's June 5 CLI update adds /transcript save for exporting chats as markdown, plaintext, or JSON, an --effort flag to set reasoning depth when you start a session, and persistent model and effort preferences that carry over automatically.
The GitHub Copilot App technical preview expanded to all Copilot Pro, Pro+, Business, and Enterprise customers on June 2. Headline additions include Canvases for bidirectional agent work, on-device voice, cloud sessions, and recurring automations that run without your machine.
Cognition pushed an over-the-air update on June 2 that renames Windsurf to Devin Desktop, promotes the Agent Command Center to the default IDE surface, and introduces Devin Local, a Rust rewrite of Cascade that is 30% more token-efficient.
OpenAI extended Codex's computer use feature to Windows on May 29, bringing the autonomous screen-control capability that launched on Mac in April to the platform that most developers actually work on.
The latest Claude Code release extends autonomous agent mode to developers running Claude through cloud provider inference platforms. You opt in with a single environment variable.
Cursor 3.6 shipped May 29 with a new run mode that routes agent tool calls through an AI classifier before executing them. It's a middle ground between fully autonomous and constantly interrupted.
Anthropic released Claude Code v2.1.154 on May 28, integrating Opus 4.8 and introducing dynamic workflows that coordinate tens to hundreds of background agents. A follow-up v2.1.156 patch shipped May 29 to fix a thinking-block serialization bug.
The maker of Devin and Windsurf closed a $1B Series D at a $26 billion post-money valuation, with $492M in annualized revenue and customers including Goldman Sachs, Mercedes-Benz, and NASA.
Modal closed a $355M Series C led by General Catalyst and Redpoint on May 21, crossing $300M ARR after 5x growth in eight months. Its sandbox product — which powers code execution for Devin, Windsurf, and several Claude Managed Agent partners — now accounts for more than a third of revenue.
Google shipped Android CLI 1.0 stable at I/O 2026. The command-line interface gives AI agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Antigravity semantic symbol resolution, Compose preview rendering, and UI test execution — with 70% less token usage than running an agent inside Android Studio.
Announced at Code with Claude London on May 19, self-hosted sandboxes let enterprises run agent tool execution on their own infrastructure. MCP tunnels let agents reach private servers without opening firewall ports.
Cursor shipped 3.4 on May 13 and 3.5 on May 20, adding full-screen agent tabs, Dockerfile-based cloud development environments, expanded Automations with multi-repo support, and a native Jira integration.
Cursor released Composer 2.5 on May 18, built on Moonshot's Kimi K2.5 checkpoint with 85% of compute spent on Cursor's own post-training pipeline. It scores 63.2% on CursorBench v3.1, edging out both Opus 4.7 and GPT-5.5 at a fraction of the inference cost.
Gemini Spark launched at I/O 2026 as a proactive cloud agent that handles tasks across Gmail, Docs, and Slides while you're offline. The detail buried in the announcement: custom sub-agents and a local browser are coming. Here's what shipped.
Google added Managed Agents to the Gemini API today. A single API call provisions an agent with reasoning, tool use, and code execution inside an isolated Linux environment, powered by the Antigravity harness and Gemini 3.5 Flash.
The largest maintenance release in recent weeks adds /resume support so background sessions appear alongside interactive ones, per-session model switching, and a fix for the startup hang that could freeze Claude Code for 75 seconds behind a VPN or captive portal.
Two May 13 updates: JetBrains IDE users can now delegate tasks to a locally running Copilot CLI agent with worktree or workspace isolation, while a new REST API lets teams trigger cloud agent tasks programmatically.
OpenAI added Codex access to the ChatGPT iOS and Android apps on May 14. Your phone connects to a Codex session running on your Mac via QR code, letting you review outputs, approve commands, and start new tasks from anywhere.
