TL;DR

  • The window included new and retiring models, a DeepSeek port for Huawei Ascend NPUs, and updates across GitHub Copilot tools and other applications. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]

Models

Huihui-ai released an uncensored, proof-of-concept version of Qwen/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next created with abliteration; AgentBull introduced the open-weight Bongard-mini for scoring candidate answers or actions. [1] [3] Mistral's Leanstral 1.5 and OCR 4.0 are deprecated and scheduled to retire on September 30, 2026; the OCR changelog recommends OCR 4.1 instead. [2] [4] avbiswas released bev-decider-0.4B, a decision model that returns calibrated probabilities for text or JSON states and typed questions. [5]

Developer platforms

DeepSeek introduced DeepGEMM Ascend, a DeepGEMM port for Huawei Ascend NPUs with compatible APIs and kernels for GEMM, MQA logits and MegaMoE. [6]

Applications

GitHub added per-user code-review settings and more granular automatic-review controls, while local sandboxing for the Copilot app entered public preview with per-project access policies. [7] [9] Copilot CLI added whole-codebase indexing for C++ projects; Copilot for JetBrains 1.18.0 added agent features, shared skills and instructions, and workflow controls. [8] [10] AWS released a Marketplace metering agent skill for building and testing usage-based SaaS integrations. OpSafari introduced hypoarena, an offline workbench for testing hypothesis-discovery pipelines using synthetic literature. [11] [12]

Copilot code review

Copilot code review adds a dedicated per-user settings page and more granular automatic-review controls, plus an enterprise-level default review effort that can be inherited by organizations. These changes are generally available across Copilot plans including Business and Enterprise.

Research preview expanded from Copilot CLI to Visual Studio Code and the GitHub Copilot app, with greater workflow transparency and more frequent progress updates.

Copilot CLI

Copilot CLI adds whole codebase indexing (WCI) for C++ that builds a persistent symbol index across a project so the Microsoft C++ Language Server can resolve symbols and relationships without repeatedly rediscovering them. The feature is enabled by default, can increase initial build time and memory usage, and the index is reused and dynamically updated thereafter.

Research preview expanded from Copilot CLI to Visual Studio Code and the GitHub Copilot app, with greater workflow transparency and more frequent progress updates.

Copilot app (Local sandboxing)

Local sandboxing for the Copilot app provides per-project policies that limit filesystem, network, and credential access for local repository and working-tree sessions. The feature is available in public preview and is configurable in the app per project or for individual sessions with an in-session command.

Research preview expanded from Copilot CLI to Visual Studio Code and the GitHub Copilot app, with greater workflow transparency and more frequent progress updates.
