Crush v0.94.1: Bring Your Own ChatGPT Subscription

Headless users get a new `--reasoning-effort` flag in `crush run` to control model reasoning depth.

This release lets you use your own ChatGPT subscription inside Crush, giving direct control over costs and access. The non-interactive `--reasoning-effort` flag adds fine-grained reasoning control for automated pipelines, making Crush more flexible for scripted or server-side workflows without a GUI.

MAI-Code-1-Flash deprecated in GitHub Copilot

GitHub has deprecated MAI-Code-1-Flash across all Copilot experiences, including Chat, inline edits, ask/agent modes, and code completions.

If you use MAI-Code-1-Flash, update workflows to a supported alternative. Enterprise admins may need to enable the new model in Copilot settings. No action required to remove the deprecated model.

Copilot code review auto-resolves comments and writes smarter commit messages

Push a fix, and Copilot closes the thread. Apply a suggestion, and it drafts the commit message.

Less manual cleanup, clearer signal on what still needs your attention, and deeper validation behind the scenes.

Agentic Batch Changes: One Prompt, Thousands of Repos

Sourcegraph launches Agentic Batch Changes for Cloud users, letting one engineer describe a codebase-wide change in plain language and have an agent scope, adapt, and roll it out across hundreds or thousands of repos.

Coding agents make single-repo changes fast but leave the rest of the codebase drifting. Agentic Batch Changes orchestrates agents or scripts per repo, adapts to differences, retries on CI failure, and tracks merge status—so a large migration no longer means a spreadsheet or a hundred manual PRs.

Qwen Code v0.23.4: Auto-start Goals, Peer SDK, and Turn Limits

Approved Web Shell Goals now launch automatically after their turn ends, eliminating manual /goal set commands.

Developers get faster workflows with auto-starting Goals, a new peer endpoint for cross-session messaging, and optional turn/active-time limits via model.goalMaxTurns and model.goalMaxActiveMinutes. Active Goal time also resets on restore.

Claude Code Now Runs on Your Own Infrastructure via Coder Agent Relay

Early access for select design partners lets regulated enterprises run Claude Code inside self-hosted, network-isolated workspaces while Anthropic handles the agent loop.

Financial services, government, and other compliance-heavy orgs can finally adopt Claude Code without ceding control of code, credentials, or egress. Platform teams reuse existing workspace policies and audit trails—no fresh security review needed.

TermSquad launches managed cloud computer for AI coding agents

Developers can now run persistent Linux sessions for AI coding agents across devices, with multi-agent orchestration and shared project memory.

This eliminates the need to manage your own cloud VM for agent workloads. TermSquad handles the infrastructure, letting you focus on coding with tools like Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot.

Unity Plugin for Codex Now Available

OpenAI's Codex gets an official Unity plugin, compatible with Unity 6+ and offering 31 initial skills written by Unity's own feature teams.

Setup takes two terminal commands or one click from the OpenAI plugin directory. The unity-cli skill handles Editor installs, project creation, and package management, letting developers stay in the coding flow without switching tools.

Goose v1.51.0 adds EUrouter provider, GPT-live API, and gateway pairing allowlist

Goose v1.51.0 is out, tagged on main and published 2026-09-17. The release notes call out EUrouter as a declarative provider, GPT-live API support, and an operator allowlist for gateway pairing.

If you run Goose with EUrouter or GPT-live, or pair gateways, this release changes what you can configure. The allowlist gives operators control over which gateways can pair; check the notes before upgrading.

Copilot CLI agentic metrics land in the usage metrics API

GitHub Copilot's usage metrics API now reports CLI agentic activity for skills, custom agents, MCP servers, slash commands, and plugins, across enterprise and organization reports.

Admins can see which CLI customizations gain traction and where enablement gaps are. Customer-defined names stay hidden, and plugin totals are a subset of skill totals, so don't add them.

Copilot Code Review Adds Progress Tracking, Smarter Auto-Resolve, and Batch Commit Messages

Copilot code review now shows how a review changes over time, auto-resolves its own comments more intelligently, and writes commit messages for eligible suggestion batches. GitHub says these updates are generally available.

Findings are grouped into Open, Resolved since last review, and Previously missed, each with severity and an inline comment link. Copilot resolves comments with a reason, either Won't Fix or Incorrect, based on later commits.

AWS Strands harness ships a general-purpose agent harness for Python and TypeScript

The Strands Agents team at AWS released Strands harness, a fully assembled general-purpose agent harness. It runs locally or deploys to a cloud provider, ships for Python and TypeScript under Apache 2.0, and starts with one line of code.

Install with pip install strands-harness or npm install @strands-agents/harness. It ships shell, file, and web tools, keeps long-term memory across runs, resumes from a session ID, and loads Agent Skills. The team reports 28% lower cost than other harnesses across 6 benchmarks.
