CHANGELOG (2026-10-16): **Cloud Agent Canvases and Environment Improvements** -- cloud agents can build interactive canvases as part of their work and share a finished canvas with the team by link; the **Environments API** is in beta for programmatically creating and managing the cloud environments agents run in; cloud agent environments now support up to **300 repositories**, and large environments load 5x faster.

ORIGIN APP MARKETPLACE -- 20+ INTEGRATIONS AND OPEN SUBMISSIONS FOR CURSOR'S GIT HOST (2026-10-13, vendor changelog): 'Origin now integrates with over 20 apps for deployments, CI, code review, security, monitoring, and project management, from partners including Cloudflare, Linear, Sentry, and Socket Security.' Named: deployments (Cloudflare, Netlify, Render, Spacelift, Vercel), CI (Buildkite, CircleCI, CloudBees, Depot, EngFlow, Namespace, RWX), security (Artemis Security, Semgrep, Socket Security, Upwind). 'Starting today, the marketplace is also open to public submissions': apps authenticate with an app JWT and installation tokens, receive webhooks and write back check runs, PR comments and reviews via the Origin API; submissions need a demo video and are reviewed before listing; an Origin Apps plugin can plan a port of an existing GitHub-style app. Context: Origin is the code-hosting service bundled into Cursor plans and The X Subscription; this is the first sign of a third-party ecosystem around it.

REMOTE CONTROL FOR LOCAL AGENTS FROM THE CURSOR iOS APP (2026-10-06, vendor-primary changelog): 'You can now see and reply to the local agents running on your computer from the Cursor iOS app.' Pair a computer by approving the request in Cursor desktop; local agents then appear in the app to watch or message. Agents keep running on your machine -- it must stay on and online (a 'Keep this computer awake' setting needs the machine plugged in with the lid open). **On by default for everyone except Enterprise organizations**, where admins enable it under Org settings > Security and identity > Remote control. Does not require cloud agents. Comparable to remote control in Claude Code and Codex.

CURSOR IS NOW SOLD THROUGH THE X SUBSCRIPTION -- THIRD-PARTY MODELS LEAVE THE ALLOWANCE FOR NEW CUSTOMERS (2026-10-12, vendor-primary): SpaceXAI, which owns Cursor since the August acquisition, launched **The X Subscription**, bundling Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor and X Premium. **cursor.com/pricing now shows the same ladder as x.ai/pricing:** Free $0, **Plus $8** ('Only Grok models are available on this plan'), **Premium $30** (4x Plus; cloud agents and automations, Origin code hosting, Bugbot reviews, third-party models at API list price), **Super $100** (15x), **Ultra $200** (50x), **Teams $30+ per user**, Enterprise custom. The Cursor FAQ: 'Plus includes Grok models only. Premium and above include generous usage of Grok models but do not include an allowance for third-party models. Third-party models remain available in Cursor at API list price.' Usage is **one pool shared with Grok, refreshed weekly**. SpaceXAI's pitch is that 'each X Subscription plan includes at least twice as much coding usage with our models as the comparable Cursor plan' and that Teams seats get 3x more coding usage than the older Cursor Teams at a lower price. **Existing Cursor subscribers keep their plan, price and included third-party usage** until they switch (prorated refund, limited-time offers); the old plans are closed to new sign-ups and SpaceXAI says it will eventually move remaining customers with advance notice. **Why it matters for rankings:** Cursor's long-standing pitch was neutral access to every frontier model under one subscription; for new buyers that is now a Grok-first subscription with Claude and GPT metered at list price on top, which changes the value comparison with GitHub Copilot (premium requests across vendors) and with paying Anthropic or OpenAI directly. The value score is held pending a sweep with real usage numbers; the new allowance multiples are relative (4x/15x/50x Plus) with no absolute token figures published.

ROLLOUTS AND SECURITY REVIEW -- TWO CURSOR BOTS FOR DEPLOY MONITORING AND PR SECURITY, TEAMS AND ENTERPRISE ONLY (2026-09-23, vendor-primary): 'Today we're launching two Cursor bots for the last mile of shipping code.' **Rollouts** 'attaches a monitor to every pull request and watches the change as it deploys, reporting change health per environment: verified healthy, regression detected, or inconclusive' -- 'the Cursor version of Firetiger Change Monitors, rebuilt with the Bot Development Kit'. Flow: when a PR opens it reads the diff and the systems it touches and writes a **monitoring plan as a PR comment** (risks, intended effect, signals to check, instrumentation gaps) that you can edit; it wakes on deploy events for the commit and runs the plan against logs, metrics and traces, tracking each environment separately ('a change can be verified in staging and still flagged in production'); on a regression it names the suspect change, notifies the author and, depending on configuration, 'can also open a revert PR for review or hand the finding to a cloud agent for a fix. **Rollouts does not merge or roll back on its own today.**' Integrations: Origin or GitHub for source control, your CD system for deploy events, Datadog and other telemetry providers; feature-flag integration 'coming soon'. **Security Review** 'reads every pull request in the context of the codebase and posts one review comment reporting exploitable bugs. Style and quality stay with Bugbot.' Coverage: SQL/command/template injection, authentication and authorization bypasses including checks a refactor stopped running, committed secrets, SSRF and unvalidated redirects, unsafe deserialization, dependency changes with known vulnerabilities; traces where user input enters. Each finding carries severity, attack path and a proposed fix; dismiss with a reason and it stays dismissed on that PR; team rules (e.g. which tables are never queried from a request handler) are enforced on every PR; draft PRs skipped. **Availability and price signal:** 'available today on Teams and Enterprise plans', enable from the automations tab; 'for the next 10 days, we're including usage credits so teams can try Rollouts on real changes' -- roughly 50 changes for Teams, 500 for Enterprise -- which implies usage-metered billing after the trial, not stated in the post. Note the ownership thread: Firetiger was a Cursor acquisition and Bugbot remains the style/quality reviewer.

CLAUDE 5.5 ON CURSORBENCH 4.0 -- OPUS 5.5 57.8%, SONNET 5.5 55.5% 'SECOND ONLY TO OPUS 5.5', PER ANTHROPIC AND SPACEXAI (2026-09-22 and 2026-09-28, vendor-primary): Anthropic's Opus 5.5 table gives **CursorBench 4.0 57.8%** for Opus 5.5 vs 51.8% Fable 5.1, 46.6% Opus 5 and 41.7% GPT-5.6 Sol ('beats GPT-5.6 Sol's top score by 11 points for about a third of the cost per task'; at default Medium effort 52.5%); the Sonnet 5.5 post gives **55.5%** for Sonnet 5.5 vs 34.1% Sonnet 5 and includes a SpaceXAI quote from Sualeh Asif, Director of ML: 'Claude Sonnet 5.5 delivers frontier-level performance on CursorBench 4.0 at 55.5%, second only to Opus 5.5. We think it will be a hit with developers looking to balance performance with cost.' CursorBench 'evaluates coding agents on ambiguous, multi-file tasks taken from real Cursor sessions'; Anthropic notes CursorBench 4.0 'does not report GPT-6 Sol performance publicly'. **What we could not confirm:** neither Cursor's blog nor changelog carries a post on Opus 5.5 or Sonnet 5.5 availability in the Cursor picker (the changelog's newest entry is the 9/23 bots post), so treat the models as benchmarked on Cursor's own suite rather than confirmed in Cursor's model list; Cursor has taken frontier Claude models on day one before and the 9/21 Grok 4.7 stub post shows it still announces some models by blog. Separately, SpaceXAI's 9/22 case study 'How SpaceXAI is using Grok Bot to scale customer support' confirms the **combined SpaceXAI and Cursor support operation** runs on Grok Bot: a 175% increase in tickets since the 8/14 merger with no new hires ('we might have hired 200 additional people otherwise'), resolutions as low as $0.20-$0.30 against the $1-$4 per resolution of flat-rate AI support tools, Plain for ticketing, Linear and Datadog connected, human approval on every write during rollout.

A

GitHub Copilot

8.3

**Oct 15: @GitHub in Slack and Microsoft Teams now works across multiple repositories in a single conversation (issues, pull requests, bug investigations), can be mentioned anywhere in a message, and can use shared Slack messages and threads as context.** **Gemini 4 Argon joined Copilot on 2026-10-13, the day Google made it GA, for Pro+, Max, Business and Enterprise at provider list price; on 10/15 GitHub scheduled Claude Opus 4.8, Claude Opus 5 and GPT-5.6 Terra for removal from every Copilot surface on 2026-11-16 (Opus 4.8 stays for individual annual subscribers), and HydraFusion gained a Max option and a pool of Opus 5.5, GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6 Luna (10/14).** **Claude Haiku 5.5 joined Copilot on 2026-10-07, the day Anthropic launched it, for Pro, Pro+, Max, Business and Enterprise at provider list price; the same day local sandboxing went GA in Copilot CLI, the Copilot app and VS Code Agent Host at no extra cost, the CLI learned to discover local Ollama models, and GitHub announced a purpose-built secret-detection model whose new push-protection and /security-review checks will draw AI Credits.** **GPT-6.1 Sol landed in Copilot on OpenAI's launch day (2026-09-29, Pro+/Max/Business/Enterprise), the fifth day-one frontier add in eight days, and on 2026-10-02 the four-model retirement slate executed on schedule: Gemini 3.5 Flash, Gemini 3.6 Flash, Kimi K2.7 Code and Claude Opus 4.7 are gone from every Copilot surface.** Same week: HydraFusion's multi-model orchestration reached VS Code 1.140 and the Copilot app (9/30), **computer use** let Copilot CLI and the Copilot app drive desktop applications on macOS and Windows in public preview (10/01), dynamic workflows defined in code arrived for CLI, app and SDK (10/01), the September VS Code roundup added automations, agent merge and Dev Container sessions (10/01), and Copilot code review gained REST/GraphQL request support with Balanced as the default effort level (10/02). Still ahead: the six-model slate on 10/19 and the 10/22 default policy for new features for Business and Enterprise. The 9/22 and 9/28 adds (Opus 5.5, GPT-6 Sol/Luna, Sonnet 5.5) all stand, metered at provider list pricing.

Codex (OpenAI)

8.3

**GPT-6.1 Sol Ultrafast is now on the API rate card -- $12 input / $0.60 cached / $15 cache writes / $60 output per 1M up to 272K tokens, six times Standard, closing the DevDay 'coming days' promise -- and on 2026-10-09 the Codex desktop app gained Composer predictions (beta), which suggests your next message after each response for personal Pro users on GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol.** **OpenAI and Atlassian expanded their partnership on 2026-10-06: GPT-6 family models (GPT-6 Astra and the GPT-5.6 series are named) will power agents across Atlassian's platform and Rovo, more than 3,000 Atlassian developers already use Codex, and the Atlassian and Teamwork Graph CLI plugins connect Codex and ChatGPT to Jira, Confluence, Looms and Bitbucket pull requests.** **Two October notes: EU Codex output will carry OpenAI's invisible textGrain text watermark within weeks (API customers can opt in worldwide from 10/05), and the new Enterprise token rate card prices Codex at API Standard rates, names GPT-5.3-Codex as the code-review model and GPT-5.6 Luna as the auto-review model, and puts Astra Ultrafast at 6x.** GPT-6.1 Sol Ultrafast is still not on the API rate card as of 10/05. **DevDay 2026 (2026-09-29) was mostly a Codex release: GPT-6.1 Sol in Codex and the API at $2/$10 per 1M with cached input cut to $0.10, Codex Cloud (reusable cloud environments, tasks that keep running while your laptop sleeps, on Plus and up), a refreshed CLI with voice steering and an /agents view, Code Review in the desktop app with automatic cloud first passes, Codex Security Cloud with Daybreak Blue models and no separate Daybreak application, and the Agents API gaining computer use** -- plus GPT-6 Astra Ultrafast (300 tokens per second in Codex) on Pro 500 and Enterprise, with GPT-6.1 Sol Ultrafast 'coming soon'. GPT-6.1 Sol nearly matches GPT-6 Astra on DeepSWE at one-fifth of the token price and also landed in GitHub Copilot the same day. Still in place: GPT-6 Sol and Luna (9/22), the Agents API public beta (9/10) and the 8/31 retirement of GPT-5.4 from Codex. On 10/01 OpenAI scheduled GPT-5.3-Codex for API removal on 2027-04-01.

Claude Code

7.8

**2.1.302 (2026-10-16) added CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MODE_MODEL to choose the model behind the client-side auto-mode classifier, an Idle compaction on/off row in /config, and a notice in /design-sync and /design-login that standalone Claude Design (claude.ai/design) closes by 2026-12-14; it also fixed file writes on exFAT/FAT32 drives on Windows and stopped prompt suggestions spending credits.** **2.1.299 (2026-10-14) added idle compaction -- a 200K+ token conversation left idle about 54 minutes is compacted before its one-hour prompt cache expires -- plus /effort and /fast defaults in agent view and /usage warnings for max effort and large tool results; 2.1.300 (10/14) brought /advisor to Claude Platform on AWS; 2.1.301 (10/15) lets unattended retry mode give up on far-off usage-limit resets and makes the fable alias fall back to the previous Fable model.** **Claude Haiku 5.5 became the default Haiku in 2.1.293 (2026-10-07) at $0.10 / $0.50 per 1M below 100K tokens; 2.1.295 (10/08) added onFailure block for hooks, OSC 7501 terminal status, per-upstream model lists on the Claude apps gateway and a 16,384-character limit on tool-search MCP descriptions, and 2.1.296 (10/09) added an allow_large Read option, per-subagent autoCompactWindow and a code policy key for Claude Desktop's Code tab.** **Three releases in two days -- 2.1.290 (2026-10-05), 2.1.291 and 2.1.292 (both 10/06): claude attach and claude logs by session name, a /claude-api managed-agents-onboard command, an effort parameter on the Agent tool, --marketplace on claude plugin install, a configurable 529 retry delay, WebFetch continuation past 100,000 characters, local MCP servers defaulting to protocol 2026-07-28, and a long run of security fixes for symlink and UNC-path reads; no model or pricing changes.** Anthropic's terminal-based coding agent that reads your whole repo and makes real changes -- not just suggestions. **Claude Opus 5.5 became the default Opus model in 2.1.280 (2026-09-22) and Claude Sonnet 5.5 the default Sonnet in 2.1.284 (2026-09-28)**: Opus 5.5 at $4/$20 with $0.20 cache reads and fast mode at $8/$40 for up to 2.5x speed, Sonnet 5.5 at an unchanged $2/$10 with far fewer tokens per task. Both are 1M context. Fable 5.1 (2026-09-01) remains the top model and still defaults to High effort in Claude Code specifically. **Four more releases 9/29-10/02 (2.1.285-2.1.288) added Claude Mods (plugins that modify deeper behaviour) with a built-in 'You should know' side agent, `claude --desktop` to hand a session to the desktop app, an `allowedProviders` managed setting, a WebFetch kill switch, `--max-findings` on /code-review, and continuation from partial responses when the API times out mid-turn.** Also since 9/22: `/doctor prompt-audit`, `deniedModels`, dollar amounts on spend limits and `attribution: false`.

About Cursor

Tier A (8.3/10). **Oct 16: cloud agents can now build interactive canvases and share them by link, the Environments API entered beta for creating and managing agent environments in code, and cloud agent environments hold up to 300 repositories with large environments loading 5x faster.** **Cursor's own plans closed to new customers on 2026-10-12: Cursor is now sold through The X Subscription (Free, Plus $8, Premium $30, Super $100, Ultra $200) with one usage pool shared with Grok, at least twice the coding usage on SpaceXAI's models -- but Claude, GPT and Gemini are no longer in the allowance, billed at API list price on Premium and up and unavailable on Plus. On 2026-10-06 the Cursor iOS app gained remote control of local agents.** **Cursor launched two bots for the last mile of shipping code on 2026-09-23 (Teams and Enterprise): Rollouts, which attaches a monitor to every pull request and watches the change as it deploys per environment -- verified healthy, regression detected, or inconclusive -- and Security Review, which posts one comment per PR reporting exploitable bugs with severity, attack path and a proposed fix.** Rollouts is the Cursor rebuild of Firetiger's Change Monitors on the Bot Development Kit; it can open a revert PR or hand a regression to a cloud agent but does not merge or roll back on its own. Models: Anthropic's 9/28 Sonnet 5.5 post quotes SpaceXAI's Sualeh Asif on CursorBench 4.0 -- Sonnet 5.5 at 55.5% 'second only to Opus 5.5' (57.8%); Grok 4.7 and its Cursor-only Fast variant arrived 9/21. **Cursor Projects (9/10, beta)** and the 11/12 OpenAI shutoff watch continue.
