Devin CLI updated
Devin CLI v3000.10.31 fixes permission precedence: `Exec(rm)` no longer blocks when a broader `ask`/`allow` rule covers the tool; `Exec(*)` now matches every command. Also new this week: GPT-6 Astra batches shell commands, `/code` `/smart` `/bypass` mode commands, and `disabled_tools` config.

Devin CLI v3000.10.21
Devin CLI v3000.10.21 — new `/code`, `/smart`, `/bypass` mode switches, `disabled_tools` config to kill tools by name, and `agent.compaction_threshold_tokens` for earlier compaction. Beta: per-command shell selection.
Antigravity Google — new Documents section and UX enhancements for organization and control
Antigravity adds a Documents section and UX changes for organizing and controlling agent work.
Claude platform release notes — September 10, 2026

DeepSeek V4.1-Flash
DeepSeek V4.1-Flash announced — billed as smarter, faster, more efficient; check API docs for tool-call and context changes before swapping agent backends.
Devin CLI v3000.10.21
