GitHub announced April 27 that all Copilot plans will switch from premium request units to GitHub AI Credits on June 1, 2026. Base prices stay the same but usage is calculated on actual token consumption, and developers are not happy about it.
Cursor 3.2 shipped on April 24 with a /multitask command that breaks large requests into async subagents running in parallel, improved worktrees for branch-isolated background work, and multi-root workspaces for cross-repo agent sessions.
Cognition AI is in early talks to raise hundreds of millions at a $25 billion valuation — more than double its $10.2B valuation from September 2024. The company makes Devin, the autonomous AI software engineer, and acquired Windsurf last July.
Gemini CLI v0.39.0 shipped April 23 with a /memory inbox command that lets you review and patch skills the agent has extracted from your sessions. It also tightens Plan Mode with user confirmation for skill activation and adds richer visual output during execution.
OpenAI launched Workspace Agents in ChatGPT on April 22 as a successor to Custom GPTs. They're powered by Codex, designed for team sharing, and can run autonomously in the cloud while you're offline.
GitHub paused new sign-ups for Copilot Pro, Pro+, Student, and Business plans starting April 20, citing unsustainable compute costs from agentic workflows. Usage limits tightened and Opus models restricted to Pro+ only.
GPT-5.5 is now generally available in GitHub Copilot across all major IDEs and platforms, but comes with a 7.5x premium request multiplier that will burn through credits fast. The same update brings inline agent mode to JetBrains IDEs.
Kiro CLI 2.1.0 ships with line-by-line shell output streaming, on-demand MCP tool loading, skills as slash commands, device flow authentication for SSH environments, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux support.
The open-source VS Code coding agent is ending its extension, Cloud, and Router services on May 15, 2026. The team says the IDE era is over and is betting on Roomote, a cloud-based autonomous agent that works through Slack, GitHub, and Linear.
OpenAI released GPT-5.5 on April 23, its most capable model yet, with benchmark scores showing meaningful gains in agentic coding, SWE tasks, and command-line workflows. The model now powers Codex for over 4 million weekly developers.
The latest stable Gemini CLI release brings built-in subagent delegation so your main session can hand off complex subtasks to specialized agents, plus a context compression service that keeps long sessions focused.
Accenture, Capgemini, CGI, Cognizant, Infosys, PwC, and TCS have all signed on to help enterprises adopt Codex. OpenAI also launched Codex Labs and crossed 4 million weekly active users in the span of two weeks.
Claude Code's Ultraplan feature moves implementation planning off your terminal and into the cloud. Opus 4.6 gets 30 minutes to think, you get a browser UI with inline comments. Here's what it actually does.
A leaked Brin memo says Google must 'urgently bridge the gap' in agentic coding. DeepMind assembled a dedicated team, some engineers are already using Claude Code instead of Gemini, and internal tensions are now visible enough to spill into the press.
Cognizant and CGI both announced enterprise partnerships with OpenAI around Codex on April 21. CGI, which has 94,000 consultants worldwide already using Codex, gains early access to new capabilities. Cognizant embeds Codex directly into its Software Engineering Group.
GitHub stopped accepting new sign-ups for Copilot Pro, Pro+, and Student plans on April 20, citing compute costs driven by agentic workflows. The company also tightened usage limits and removed Opus models from the Pro tier. Community reaction has been harsh.
OpenAI updated its open-source Agents SDK on April 15 with native sandbox support, a new model-native harness for file and shell operations, configurable memory, and workspace portability via S3, GCS, Azure, and Cloudflare R2. Python ships now; TypeScript is coming.
GitHub added an experimental feature to Copilot CLI called Rubber Duck that routes a Claude coding session through a GPT-5.4 reviewer at key moments. In GitHub's tests, it closed 74.7% of the performance gap between Claude Sonnet and Opus on SWE-Bench Pro.
OpenAI shipped a major Codex desktop update on April 16. The headline feature is computer use: Codex can now see, click, and type on your Mac while you keep working. It also added memory, image generation, 90+ new plugins, and self-scheduling.
A new 'Fix with Copilot' button on pull request pages lets the Copilot cloud agent resolve merge conflicts, run CI checks, and push — all without touching your local environment.
The three-year-old startup behind 'Droids' — AI agents covering the full software development lifecycle — closed a Series C led by Khosla Ventures with Sequoia, Insight Partners, and Blackstone participating.
Anthropic shipped a major Claude Code desktop redesign with multi-session management, an integrated terminal, and a rebuilt diff viewer, alongside Routines — cloud-hosted automations that run without your laptop.
GitHub shipped a public preview of remote control for Copilot CLI sessions, letting developers monitor, steer, and respond to a running agent from GitHub.com or the mobile app in real time.
Cognition's major Windsurf update replaces the single-agent workflow with a Kanban-style interface for managing fleets of local and cloud agents, and folds Devin directly into every self-serve subscription.
