CherryHQ/cherry-studio (50,068 stars) cut v2.0.0 on August 5 and reached 2.0.2 by August 7, rebuilding from chat client into a work surface with multi-window and split-view layouts. The release notes say the subscription part explicitly: OpenAI and Anthropic endpoints, reusing Claude and Codex subscriptions, with the core agent runtime built in to cut dependency and environment setup. Agents read and maintain knowledge bases wiki-style, and code tooling is now "Code Mate" with one-click config for Claude Code and Codex.

Spotify's Portal team published Xirp on August 10: a vendor-neutral agentic development environment that manages concurrent sessions across Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and Codex, each session isolated in its own git worktree so dozens of agents can work the same codebase without...
Three things happened this month that only make sense together. Agent Plugins 1.0 shipped co-signed by six competitors: AWS, Anysphere, Microsoft, OpenAI, Vercel and Google (GitHub Changelog). It makes skills-plus-MCP bundles portable across clients. OpenAI's August 11 Codex c...
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...
