Bespoke-Nimble-9B-v2 is a PEFT LoRA adapter for text-based, schema-conditioned decisions, requiring the separately downloaded Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B base model. It scores allowed answer-token logits to provide boolean judgments, categorical choices, ordinal scores, and probability distributions; it does not generate reasoning or free-form answers.

Ternary Bonsai 2 9B is a 9-billion-parameter model based on Qwen3.5, using PrismML’s ternary weight representation. It supports reasoning, visual understanding, and tool-driven workflows in a compact model footprint.
Ternary Bonsai 2 4B is a 4-billion-parameter model based on Qwen3.5, using PrismML’s ternary weight representation. It supports reasoning, visual understanding, and tool-driven workflows in a compact model footprint.
Ternary Bonsai 2 Ternary 9B is a 9B-class vision-language model with ternary transformer weights, distributed in GGUF formats for llama.cpp. It supports text and image input and has a 262,144-token context length inherited from its Qwen3.5-9B backbone.

Ternary Bonsai 2 2B is a 2-billion-parameter model based on Qwen3.5, using PrismML’s ternary weight representation. It supports reasoning, visual understanding, and tool-driven workflows in a compact model footprint.
d1-ultra is a multimodal decision model that accepts text, images, or both and returns probabilities for yes/no, choice, and score questions in one forward pass. Liquid AI says it is based on a larger open-weight model with Liquid-specific customizations and is trained to produce more reliable probabilities.

Claude Opus 5.5 is a hosted Anthropic model for long-running agentic coding and knowledge work, released with a 1,000,000-token default context window and 128k max output tokens. It enforces always-on adaptive thinking and is deployed across multiple cloud platforms and the Claude API with migration guidance for tool and computer toolset changes.
Fast mode is out of research preview, no longer requires an access request or the fast-mode-2026-02-01 beta header, and has a default rate limit in every usage tier. It is also available on Claude in Microsoft Foundry for deployments hosted on Azure.
open_scion is an open-source source-control system designed for coding-agent workflows, implementing a server-centric design with normal Git repositories underneath. It provides server-side history and code search, compare-and-swap landing, agent-oriented review and security features, and optional conflict resolution through an LLM provider, deterministic tool, or no resolver.

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.
Starting November 16, 2026, selected models will be deprecated across GitHub Copilot experiences, changing which models users can select. Claude Opus 4.8 will remain available to individual subscribers on annual plans.
GitHub deprecated four models across its Copilot experiences on October 2, 2026. It suggests replacement models and says administrators may need to enable access to alternatives through model policies.
Starting November 16, 2026, selected models will be deprecated across GitHub Copilot experiences, changing which models users can select. Claude Opus 4.8 will remain available to individual subscribers on annual plans.
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.
Starting November 16, 2026, selected models will be deprecated across GitHub Copilot experiences, changing which models users can select. Claude Opus 4.8 will remain available to individual subscribers on annual plans.
Copilot for JetBrains 1.18.0 is a JetBrains IDE plugin update that adds new agent features, organization-shared skills and instructions, and workflow improvements. The release includes public-preview assisted tool approvals, a re-edit message capability, Codex agent plan mode, and controls for MCP tools and the built-in MCP server.
Starting November 16, 2026, selected models will be deprecated across GitHub Copilot experiences, changing which models users can select. Claude Opus 4.8 will remain available to individual subscribers on annual plans.
