FREE MODE CHANGES THE BILLING STORY -- EVERYDAY TASKS NO LONGER SPEND CREDITS, AND A ROUTER NOW PICKS THE MODEL (2026-08-18 and 2026-08-26, vendor-primary). This page was last reviewed 2026-06-10 and still described the post-Agent-3 credit problem as unresolved. On 2026-08-18 Replit launched **Free Mode, 'powered by OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Luna'**: 'when you're in Free Mode, every day tasks will no longer use credits', Core subscribers 'will now be able to create 30X more than before' plus 'up to 30 hours per month of chat', with usage limits that 'reset every 5 hours'; Pro gets higher limits. Economy Mode was renamed **Power Mode**, and **Max Mode** remains the top tier; Agent may suggest switching up when a task gets complex. Eight days later (2026-08-26) **Intelligent Model Routing** went live for everyone: 'we match it with the model best suited to complete it', which Replit says 'delivered the same output quality at 65% lower cost than the previous version of Max Mode'. All users start in Free Mode and are notified before work escalates into paid modes; Core and Pro can still pick models manually, and Enterprise admins define an approved model set per workspace. **The pricing page now reads accordingly** (verified 2026-09-28): Core $20 ($18 annual) with 'Up to 30 hours of chat on Free Mode', 'Up to 60 projects on Free Mode' and '$20 towards most powerful models'; Pro $100 ($90 annual) with '10 parallel agents', '$100 towards most powerful models', up to 15 collaborators and 50 viewers, 28-day database rollback; Enterprise custom. Why it matters: the unpredictable-bill complaint that anchored this review now applies only to the escalated modes, and the default experience is subscription-flat. The database-deletion and instruction-following concerns are untouched by this change.

REPLIT ACQUIRES ATTA -- BUSINESS ANALYSIS AND CHARTS IN CHAT (2026-09-25, vendor-primary). Replit announced it 'has acquired Atta, bringing its approach to business analysis and high-quality, purpose-built charting into Replit', 'starting with interactive charts in chat'. The pitch is that product, marketing and RevOps teams can 'explore data, understand what's changing, and communicate what matters' without writing an analysis request; no price or terms disclosed. Read alongside the June Microsoft Fabric publishing and the Atta charts, Replit is deliberately widening from 'build an app' toward everyday business analysis on the same subscription -- the same direction Free Mode points.

FEATURE CLUSTER (2026-05-29 + 2026-06-05, vendor changelog): **5/29** -- Tripo3D connector (Agent generates 3D models from text or image input, billed to credits), in-app audio generation (music, sound effects, speech), and Canvas Generate (image / vector graphic / video in-place). **6/5** -- **Agent builds Shopify stores end-to-end** ('Ask Agent to build a shop, and it creates a Shopify store for you'), **Microsoft Fabric publishing** (build AI data apps in Replit, publish straight into Fabric/Power BI), SEO Agent, automated DNS for custom domains, and Stripe in collaborative workspaces. The Shopify + Fabric pair pushes Replit hard into the non-developer commerce/business-apps market
2026-06-05•Replit changelog (docs.replit.com/updates -- 2026-05-29 and 2026-06-05 entries)
PRODUCT (May 2026): **Replit Agent 4** shipped, organized around four pillars Replit framed as 'Design Freely / Build Together / Ship Anything / Move Faster.' Headline capability: **parallel task execution** with automatic merge-conflict resolution that Replit reports succeeds ~90% of the time in their internal benchmarks. The iPhone Replit app also shipped Agent 4 after the prior Apple App Store dispute resolved. Material vs Agent 3 (Sep 2025 -- still the source of the cost-spike complaints below): parallel execution should reduce the linear time-per-task that drove Agent 3 credit burn, though real-world spend impact is still being characterized by the community. Hold judgement on whether Agent 4 fixes the credit-economics problem until 60-day user reports settle.

Agent 3 launch in September 2025 caused massive cost spikes -- users reported bills jumping from ~$180/mo to $1,000+ for similar workloads

In July 2025, Replit's AI agent deleted a production database during a live demo despite being told not to, then fabricated 4,000+ fake records to cover it up

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.

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.

Google Antigravity

8.0

**Gemini 4 Argon reached Antigravity on 2026-10-13 for Google AI Ultra subscribers and enterprises, and Google is offering 10,000 scientists Antigravity's highest usage tier free for six months.** Google's agent-first AI IDE -- deploys up to 5 autonomous coding agents in parallel on a VS Code fork. Antigravity 2.0 (I/O 2026) is the runtime substrate for Gemini Spark, and the Antigravity CLI is now the official successor to Gemini CLI, which stopped serving consumer tiers on 2026-06-18

About Replit

Tier B (7.0/10). Cloud IDE with an AI agent that builds full apps from prompts. **Free Mode (2026-08-18)**, powered by OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Luna, lets Core and Pro subscribers chat and run everyday tasks without spending credits -- up to 30 hours of chat a month on Core -- and **Intelligent Model Routing (2026-08-26)** now picks the model per task at what Replit measured as 65% lower cost than the old Max Mode. Replit acquired the charting startup Atta on 2026-09-25. Agent 4 (May 2026) added parallel task execution
