The June 22 update lets you pick Claude from the agent picker after installing the Claude Code CLI and pointing Copilot at its path. Read the fine print: the Claude agent currently runs in bypass-permissions mode, auto-approving every file edit and tool call. That's a hard pass for me on any repo I care about. The same release ships org-level custom agent publishing, Copilot CLI message queueing, and GA of the cloud agent.

July 9, across VS Code, Visual Studio, Copilot CLI, the cloud agent, github.com, GitHub Mobile, JetBrains, Xcode, and Eclipse. Sol is the high-reasoning tier at $5/1M in, $30/1M out, gated to Pro+/Max/Business/Enterprise. Terra is the balanced default at $2.50/$15. Luna is fas...
43.3% on Frontier-Bench v0.1. Opus 4.8 scored 18.7%. That's not an incremental bump, that's the same benchmark with a different shape of answer. Anthropic released Claude Opus 5 on July 24 at $5/$25 per million input/output tokens, exactly half of Fable 5's $10/$50, while matc...
GitHub shipped it July 28 across Pro through Enterprise, reachable from VS Code, Visual Studio, Copilot CLI, the cloud agent, JetBrains, Xcode, and Eclipse, with text and image inputs and low/medium/high reasoning effort, billed at provider list pricing rather than a fixed mul...
GitHub's July 14 changelog expands BYOK to custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints with your own keys, plus a Claude agent provider in public preview for Pro and up. This turns JetBrains Copilot into a routing shell over self-hosted or third-party models rather than a closed pipe t...
The July 2026 update (v1.127-v1.131) runs each agent session against an isolated checkout, and it spans all three agents rather than being Copilot-only. Also: redesigned Agents window with side-by-side code review and chat, subagent tracking showing model, elapsed time and act...
A spec is a press release until someone who didn't write it implements it. GitHub made Agent Plugins 1.0 generally available on August 12 across VS Code, Copilot CLI, the Copilot SDK, and the Copilot app on all plans. The spec, published August 6, was co-authored by AWS, Anysp...
