GEMINI 4 ARGON DAY ONE, THREE MODELS REMOVED ON NOVEMBER 16, HYDRAFUSION MAX, AND TWO CODE-SECURITY AI FEATURES GO GA (2026-10-13 to 2026-10-15, vendor changelog): **(1) Gemini 4 Argon (10/13):** 'now generally available in GitHub Copilot ... designed for complex coding, agentic, and reasoning tasks'; GitHub says it 'solved more tasks than previous Gemini models on every coding benchmark, with its largest gains in Copilot CLI'. 'Billed at provider list pricing under usage-based billing' (Google lists $2 / $10 per 1M until 11/30, then $4 / $20). Available to **Copilot Pro+, Max, Business and Enterprise -- not Pro** -- in VS Code, Visual Studio, Copilot CLI, the coding agent, the Copilot app, JetBrains, Xcode and Eclipse; gradual rollout; on by default under default model enablement. That is the fourth frontier launch in a row Copilot has carried on day zero or one. **(2) Removals announced 10/15, effective 2026-11-16, across Chat, inline edits, ask and agent modes and completions:** Claude Opus 4.8 -> Claude Opus 5.5 ('will remain available to individual GitHub Copilot subscribers on annual plans so they retain an Opus offering'); Claude Opus 5 -> Claude Opus 5.5; GPT-5.6 Terra -> GPT-6.1 Sol or GPT-6 Luna. Alternatives are auto-enabled for Business/Enterprise unless an admin turned off the global default. **(3) HydraFusion update + HydraFusion Max (10/14, research preview):** the multi-model orchestrator's pool now includes Claude Opus 5.5, GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6.1 Sol and GPT-6 Luna; it now tailors effort per stage (medium for drafts, high for review); Cascade adds a judging step and Critique uses parallel critics that inspect the workspace with tools. Max applies higher effort for 'the deepest possible reasoning'. Both run in VS Code, the Copilot app and CLI on Pro, Pro+, Business and Enterprise with preview features enabled. **(4) Agentic autofix for code scanning alerts GA (10/15):** assign a CodeQL alert (or up to 25 at once) to Copilot, which explores the codebase, reruns CodeQL to confirm the fix and opens a draft PR; Code Security / Advanced Security customers on GitHub Enterprise Cloud; replaces the free Generate Fix button when enabled; consumes Code Security AI Credits plus Actions minutes and needs a Copilot billing method. **(5) AI Scan for pull requests GA (10/15):** AI findings alongside CodeQL for languages CodeQL does not cover (PHP, Shell, Terraform HCL, Dockerfiles, JSP, Blazor); advisory only, cannot block merges; free on public repos, Code Security or Advanced Security required for private; **no Copilot license required**; consumes Code Security AI Credits. **(6) 10/13:** secret scanning now blocks new Anthropic key types with push protection by default.

OCTOBER 6-12: HAIKU 5.5 DAY ONE, LOCAL SANDBOXING GA, LOCAL MODELS IN THE CLI, A SECRET-DETECTION MODEL, CODE REVIEW BILLING CONTROLS, A JETBRAINS FLOOR RAISE AND A METRICS UNDERCOUNT (vendor-primary, GitHub changelog): **(1) Claude Haiku 5.5 GA (10/07, launch day)** -- 'designed for fast, high-volume work like subagents, quick edits, and terminal tasks'; GitHub says it 'matched Claude Sonnet 5 on many coding tasks while using significantly fewer tokens and steps'. **Billed at provider list pricing under usage-based billing**; Copilot Pro, Pro+, Max, Business and Enterprise; VS Code, Visual Studio, Copilot CLI, cloud agent, the Copilot app, github.com, GitHub Mobile, JetBrains, Xcode and Eclipse; gradual rollout; on by default for Business/Enterprise unless the admin turned off default enablement. **(2) Local sandboxing GA (10/07)** in Copilot CLI, the Copilot app and VS Code sessions using Agent Host: agent-run commands get restricted filesystem, network, Git and GitHub CLI credential access by developer or organization policy, powered by **Microsoft eXecution Container (MXC)** across Windows, macOS and Linux; enterprises can require it via managed settings developers cannot weaken; **included at no additional cost**. **(3) Local model discovery in Copilot CLI (10/07, CLI 1.0.94-0+)** -- `/model` lists models from a running local Ollama instance; models must support tool calling and streaming; choosing one does NOT turn on offline mode (`COPILOT_OFFLINE=true` is separate) or disable telemetry. Intelligent routing with local models was announced but is not yet available. **(4) Purpose-built secret-detection model (10/07)** -- GitHub's fine-tuned model now powers AI-detected password alerts (automatic upgrade, still included in GHSP/GHAS); **AI push protection is in private preview and AI secret scanning in the Copilot /security-review command is 'available soon in private preview' -- both will consume GitHub AI Credits, with credit usage 'introduced in the coming weeks'**; AI-detected alerts come to GHES 3.23 in public preview. **(5) Copilot code review billing (10/08)** -- org owners can bill reviews requested by licensed members to the organization's cost center instead of the member's quota (requires AI Credits paid usage, optional budget; default is still the member's entitlement, and a review fails when that quota is exhausted), and can require that review requests come from a Copilot license provided by the org or enterprise (blocks personal licenses). **(6) Weekly roundup (10/09)** -- the Copilot app can use one GitHub account for the Copilot license and another for repositories; VS Code 1.141 adds a grid Agents window and worktree cleanup. **(7) JetBrains (10/10)** -- enterprise-managed default models, a Fix action from diagnostics, an MCP auto-start toggle for Copilot and Claude, and **support for JetBrains IDE 2025.1 ended -- 2025.2 or later is now required**. **(8) Usage metrics undercount (10/06)** -- IDEs that moved agent sessions to the Copilot SDK stopped identifying themselves, so agent activity and agent lines of code were undercounted (some counted as Copilot CLI); VS Code 1.139.0+ fixes it, Visual Studio 18.12 (October), JetBrains (late October), Eclipse and Xcode (by November) to follow; **billing was not affected and missing data cannot be backfilled**. **(9) Telemetry identity (10/12)** -- enterprise admins can attribute OpenTelemetry Copilot activity to a user (login, OS account, host name) without capturing prompts, and separately enable five content classes; all off by default. **Calendar note:** GitHub's 9/03 announcement that existing card/PayPal Business and Enterprise customers move to upfront per-seat charging from 2026-10-01 has had no follow-up changelog entry through 10/12; this page treats it as announced and not independently confirmed as executed.

DATED FLIP EXECUTED -- THE 2026-10-02 SLATE REMOVED FOUR MODELS ON SCHEDULE, AND CODE REVIEW GOT AN API THE SAME DAY (2026-10-02, vendor-primary): GitHub's 'Retired' entry: 'As of today, October 2, 2026, we have deprecated the following models across all GitHub Copilot experiences (including Copilot Chat, inline edits, ask and agent modes, and code completions)': **Gemini 3.5 Flash -> Gemini 3.8 Flash; Gemini 3.6 Flash -> Gemini 3.8 Flash; Kimi K2.7 Code -> Kimi K3; Claude Opus 4.7 -> Claude Opus 5.5.** Note the Opus replacement changed between notice and execution: the 9/03 notice named Claude Opus 5, the 10/02 execution names **Opus 5.5** (launched 9/22). 'No action is required to remove the deprecated models'; Enterprise admins may need to enable the alternatives through model policies. That is four of the ten models out; the remaining six (Gemini 3.7 Flash, GPT-5.5, GPT-5.4, GPT-5.4 mini, GPT-5 mini, Grok 4.5) go on 10/19. **Copilot code review (same day, 'Improvement'):** 'You can now request a GitHub Copilot code review through the REST and GraphQL APIs and set the review effort level for each request' -- GA for Pro, Pro+, Max, Business and Enterprise -- and **'Balanced is now the default review effort level'** for new and existing repositories and organisations (an explicit Lite selection is respected); GitHub says this default change 'took effect September 28, 2026' as announced on 8/28. Effort can be set at enterprise (AI controls > Agents > Copilot code review), organisation, repository and personal level, each overriding the one above.

GPT-6.1 SOL ON DAY ONE, HYDRAFUSION IN VS CODE AND THE APP, COMPUTER USE FOR DESKTOP APPS, DYNAMIC WORKFLOWS, AND THE SEPTEMBER VS CODE ROUNDUP (2026-09-29 to 2026-10-01, all vendor-primary): **(1) GPT-6.1 Sol (9/29)** -- 'the latest model from OpenAI, is now generally available and rolling out in GitHub Copilot' for agentic coding and terminal workflows; GitHub's early testing: 'it reliably completed tasks while using noticeably fewer tokens and steps than earlier models in the GPT-6 and GPT-5.6 families'. **Billed at provider list pricing under usage-based billing; Pro+, Max, Business and Enterprise**; in the picker across VS Code, Visual Studio, Copilot CLI, the coding agent, the Copilot app, github.com, Mobile, JetBrains, Xcode and Eclipse; gradual rollout. OpenAI's own rate card for the model is $2 / $0.10 cached / $10 per 1M. That makes five frontier models on their vendors' launch day in eight days (Opus 5.5, GPT-6 Sol, GPT-6 Luna on 9/22; Sonnet 5.5 on 9/28; GPT-6.1 Sol on 9/29). **(2) HydraFusion research preview in VS Code 1.140+ and the Copilot app (9/30)** -- 'expanding beyond Copilot CLI'. It sits in the model picker but 'rather than being a single model, it orchestrates multiple models', choosing one of three workflows: **Single** (one model solves it), **Cascade** (an efficient model drafts and a quality gate escalates to a stronger model if needed) or **Critique** (one model drafts, a read-only critic from a different model family reviews, the drafter revises once). Enable with chat.copilot.hydraFusion.enabled in VS Code or Settings > HydraFusion in the app; org and enterprise admins may need to allow preview features. Also more step transparency and real-time progress. **(3) Computer use (10/01, public preview)** -- Copilot CLI and the Copilot app on macOS and Windows can 'interact with desktop applications on your behalf (e.g., reading accessible app content and visual context, clicking controls, entering and editing text, pressing keys, scrolling, dragging, and navigating workflows across applications)', aimed at legacy and GUI-only software with no API, CLI or MCP. Copilot asks approval before controlling an app, always-allow lists are reviewable, macOS walks through Accessibility and Screen Recording permissions, and org-managed settings can disable it. Toggle with /computer on | show | off. **(4) Dynamic workflows (10/01)** -- for Copilot CLI, the Copilot app and the Copilot SDK: 'a program that defines how a task is carried out', combining automated steps with one or more agents in sequence or parallel, with structured hand-offs, subagents verifying each other, user prompts and pause-and-resume checkpoints; the program lives inside a Copilot extension. Distinct from /fleet (ad-hoc delegation); Copilot can author workflows for you. **(5) VS Code September 2026 roundup (10/01, v1.136-v1.140):** HydraFusion in the model picker (preview), scheduled automations (preview), **agent merge** that handles review feedback, failed checks, merge conflicts and workflow reruns (preview), PR creation from Copilot, Claude or Codex agent sessions, hierarchical related chats and sessions, Mark as Done and auto-cleanup, an application badge for sessions needing attention, Dev Container sessions from the Agents window incl. SSH/Tunnel/WSL, workspace-less quick chats, **'pick up a Codex conversation from the ChatGPT app in VS Code'**, uninterrupted active chats and GitHub issue/PR context attachment.

CLAUDE SONNET 5.5 IN COPILOT ON ANTHROPIC'S LAUNCH DAY -- PRO AND UP, GA, AUTO-ENABLED (2026-09-28, vendor-primary): GitHub added **Claude Sonnet 5.5** as 'generally available in GitHub Copilot', 'designed for well-scoped everyday work like building features and fixing bugs'; in GitHub's early testing it matched Claude Sonnet 5 on coding tasks 'while using significantly fewer steps, tokens, and tool calls' and 'finished tasks noticeably faster'. **Availability: Copilot Pro, Pro+, Max, Business and Enterprise** (one tier wider than Opus 5.5, which excludes Pro) across VS Code, Visual Studio, Copilot CLI, the coding agent, the Copilot app, github.com, GitHub Mobile, JetBrains, Xcode and Eclipse; gradual rollout. Billed at provider list pricing under usage-based billing (Anthropic's list: $2/$10 per 1M). Under default model enablement it is on automatically unless an administrator turned off the global default or disables it. Fourth day-one model add in a week (Opus 5.5, GPT-6 Sol, GPT-6 Luna on 9/22).

Cursor

8.3

**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.

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 GitHub Copilot

Tier A (8.3/10). **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.
