Anthropic published its annual Usage Policy update on Oct 8, 2026; the post summarizes the changes.
Kiro — Memory Across Chat Sessions
Kiro changelog — memory across chat sessions, so context carries between sessions.
Kiro CLI 2.29.0
Release feed lists 2.29.0 (Oct 16); the changelog's 2.28.0 entry (Oct 5, 2026) switches an interactive Classic session to 3.0, matches V3 Hooks by tool category, and improves reliability in long V3 sessions.

Update your IDE to restore agent activity in Copilot usage metrics
Agent activity has been missing from Copilot usage metrics — GitHub's October 6, 2026 changelog post says updating the IDE restores it, and covers what to expect in your reports. Anyone tracking Copilot agent usage in org dashboards is undercounted until the client updates.
Kiro — Workflows, Safer Untrusted Workspaces, and Enterprise Sign-In Controls
Claude Sonnet 5.5 is now available with experimental support across the Kiro IDE, CLI, Crew, and Web for Pro, Pro+, Pro Max, and Power customers in us-east-1 (IAD) and eu-central-1 (FRA); the Oct 2, 2026 changelog update also ships Workflows, safer untrusted workspaces, and enterprise sign-in controls.
Devin: October 5, 2026
Session workspace gets a Terminal tab for running commands on Devin's machine — the Files tab can now be opened while Devin is asleep, and opening Files or Terminal wakes Devin. Also in this cut: a ⌘K command palette, Devin Review effort levels, and Slack user-group mentions rendering as named @group mentions in the webapp.
Devin: October 2, 2026
Oct 2 notes: sidebar search now surfaces matching sub-sessions and workflow sessions under collapsed parents, and the session status stops prompting to review/approve/merge a PR once that step is done. Long-session fixes cover transcript flicker/blanking on background-tab return and self-scrolling while reading older history.
Claude platform release notes — October 1, 2026
Models API adds a `line` field: `GET /v1/models` and `GET /v1/models/{model_id}` now return the model line (Opus 4.5 and 4.6 both report `opus`; null for a model in no line). Same page: Claude Sonnet 4.5 (`claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929`) is deprecated, retirement on the Claude API scheduled for November 30, 2026 — migrate to Claude Sonnet 5.5.
xAI API release notes — October
xAI API release notes page updated for October; the docs list Grok 4.7 under Latest Models and include a Multi Agent section.
Devin CLI v3000.11.1 / v3000.11.3
v3000.11.1 adds `devin --cloud` / `/cloud` to run Devin Cloud sessions from the CLI, `/handoff` and `/pickup` to bring a cloud session's PR branch into a local session, and `devin ssh` / `/ssh` to connect to a Devin Cloud VM; ACP clients can now select Devin models, thinking effort, and speed. Agent events and metrics export to an OpenTelemetry collector via the `otel` config block or `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_*` variables. v3000.11.3 fixes browser login to record the signed-in tenant's webapp host so `/handoff` and `/share` links open on ` .devinenterprise.com` instead of `app.devin.ai` — re-run `/

OMP 18.10.0
Raises the default context window for `openai-codex/gpt-6.1-sol` and `gpt-6.1-sol-wm` from 272K to 500K, matching OpenAI's new Codex default; extended context still opens 922K. Also adds `omp session pack`/`unpack`/`moved` to move a session with its artifacts to another machine (resuming the copy left behind forks it), `omp auth export`/`import` to carry model sign-ins, and `/fork` to create a new Tern pane while a turn is streaming.
OMP 18.7.0 — interrupted-run recovery and GPT-6 Astra billing fixes
Interrupted runs now emit assistant message boundaries reliably, so subscribers can persist and recover the interrupted turn. Also fixes GPT-6 Astra premium-rate accounting (6× on the OpenAI API, 8× included usage on Codex, counted toward the premium-request limit), adds getOAuthCredentialProvider() for login aliases like openai-codex-device, and patches Vertex AI auth on Windows and Cursor account selection by email.
OMP 18.8.0
Breaking: the env API-key helpers (getEnvApiKey, getEnvApiKeyName, listProvidersWithEnvKey) are no longer exported from @oh-my-pi/pi-ai/stream — import from @oh-my-pi/pi-ai or @oh-my-pi/pi-ai/env-api-key — and TranscriptionRequest.audio now accepts Uint8Array | Blob, so consumers must handle Blob. Plus CPU/memory efficiency gains across streamed responses (Cursor, Devin, Codex, OpenAI Responses, GitLab Duo Workflow) and faster tool-output pruning/telemetry in long-running sessions.

Gemini CLI 0.64.0 — atomic file writes, state corruption recovery
File tool operations are serialized and writes are atomic; CLI state persists atomically and recovers from backup on corruption; the CPU hang on @ within code is fixed. Also: folder trust state propagates in headless mode, a2a-server gains V1 to V2 settings migration, and ACP bridges PromptResponse.usage into usage_update notifications.
Gemini CLI 0.63.0
Gemini CLI 0.63.0 — bounds tool output size and optimizes memory lifecycle in long-running agent loops; fixes an infinite auth loop from file contention, headless keyring, and supervisor state drops (#28341); distinguishes missing MCP enablement config from malformed JSON; cleans up temporary directories when background shell execution exits.
openai
Codex 0.162.0
Adds tools for creating and listing managed Git worktrees from trusted local projects when the worktrees feature is enabled, plus configurable live web access and remote compaction for custom Responses-compatible model providers; Code Mode gets opt-in ranked tool search.
Codex 0.161.0
Codex 0.161.0, tagged rust-v0.161.0 in openai/codex and published 2026-10-06 — release notes at the link.

OpenClaw plugin SDK moves SQLite runtime writes into workers
Plugin SDK refactor (#168857) moves SQLite runtime writes into workers — a change to where plugin runtime writes are executed; worth retesting any OpenClaw plugin setup that uses SQLite.
OpenClaw 2026.9.9
• OpenClaw v2026.9.9: 185 commits · 112 pull requests · 92 contributors. • Release notes and changelog contain the same content, presented in two formats. • Release notes are formatted for people, with expandable sections.

OpenCode 1.0.0
OpenCode 1.0.0 — the release is tagged vscode-v1.0.0, the VS Code extension.
Ducksss
codex-profiles 1.3.0
Adds a native profile and workspace menu with usage, a `usage` CLI command for remaining Codex quota, low-quota alerts, and a Raycast extension for profiles and workspaces. Maintainer waived Desktop smoke checks — real Desktop behavior is unverified.
earendil-works
Pi 1.0.0
The TUI runs fullscreen by default (`tuiMode: "regular"` keeps the terminal's normal scrollback); codemode uses about 40% fewer prompt tokens and its errors tell the model how to recover; MCP OAuth hardening adds `oauth.authServerMetadataUrl`, RFC 9207 `iss` checks, credentials per server, and step-up sign-in that keeps granted scopes. Also in 1.0.0: `models.generateImages()` in codemode using the session's credentials, and Radius sign-in plus its MCP server setup in one step from `/login`.
modelcontextprotocol
MCP servers v1.0.0
server-everything, server-filesystem, server-memory, and server-sequential-thinking publish at 1.0.0 on npm; mcp-server-fetch, mcp-server-git, and mcp-server-time publish at 2026.10.10 on PyPI. The everything server also cleans up subscriptions on session disconnect.
nanocoai
NanoClaw 2026.10.0
First calendar-versioned release; /update-nanoclaw now installs published releases instead of the tip of main. Breaking: OneCLI installs must upgrade the OneCLI gateway to exactly 1.42.0 first — it closes a credential-injection bypass, and /update-nanoclaw never upgrades a running gateway.
