As of today, October 19, 2026, we have deprecated the following models across most GitHub Copilot experiences (including Copilot Chat, inline edits, ask and agent modes, and code completions). These deprecations were announced on September 18, 2026. Model…
Devin Fusion has claimed a top score of 68 on the @ArtificialAnlys Coding Agent Index with an Opus 5.5 lead and GPT-6 Luna sidekick.
Devin Fusion outperforms Claude Code with Opus 5.5 on both performance and price – earning a score of 68 at a 31% lower cost per task.
MiniMax M3.1 Flash goes toe-to-toe with Opus and GPT on coding at ~25x lower cost.
This was the model behind Space Bunny, the stealth model that’s been topping usage leaderboards recently.
Free in Cline now!
DeepSeek V4.1-Flash-1017 has released, beating GPT 5.6 Sol on Terminal-Bench while being ~17x cheaper.
It improves the previous DeepSeek V4.1-Flash result by 35%, accomplished with "no algorithmic innovation" but instead by RL training it on multiple coding agent harnesses.

Today Modal switches from our infra unicorn category to infra decacorn. We last caught up with Modal CTO Akshat in July:On the last day of AIE NYC, Akshat had a lot to share about the kind of infrastructure agents are needing for “millions of concurrent…
Gemini 4 Argon had the best launch day user share of any frontier model on Cline since June.
~3x as many users tried it on day one as Claude Opus 5.5 or Sonnet 5.5.
We're also seeing Argon using 30% fewer tokens on average than Claude models. It's a really efficient model!
Kimi K3 is now available with experimental support across the Kiro IDE, CLI, Crew, and Web for Pro, Pro+, Pro Max, and Power customers using Kiro's US geography. Moonshot AI's open-weight model accepts text and images and has a 1M-token context window, making…
Claude Sonnet 4 has reached end of life in Kiro as of October 14, 2026. If your work depends on it, choose another available model before continuing. Claude Sonnet 5.5 is the latest Sonnet model. See Model lifecycle for lifecycle stages and end-of-life dates.
Gemini 4 Argon is #1 on Val Index, completing agentic tasks at half the cost of Opus 5.5.
Google shared that the Chrome team recently used Argon to refactor ~6 million lines of legacy features out of a 40-million line codebase, eliminating an entire category of browser crashes.
When anyone in an organization can put AI to work on the problems they know best, the way the organization operates starts to change. Designers turn ideas into working software that engineers can review and build on. HR builds its own onboarding tools. Finance…
Gemini 4 Argon is now available in Cursor!
It scores 52.8% on CursorBench at default effort, on par with Opus 5.5.
Priced at $2/M input and $10/M output tokens.
Introducing the Kilo MCP.
Connect Kilo Desktop, CLI, VS Code or any agent to the Kilo platform, then ask your agent what you spent this month, update your agent profiles or start a cloud agent without leaving your editor.
Setup takes two steps.
