TL;DR

  • Idol turns one object image into a 3D Gaussian splat that can include views not visible in the picture. [2]
  • Anthropic’s beta Usage and Cost Analytics API lets eligible organizations retrieve Claude token usage and cost, grouped by details such as model, workspace, or API key. [4]
  • GitHub Copilot Fusion can choose and coordinate models for coding tasks based on the prompt and a user-selected effort level. [7]
  • AuroraIMG2-50M-Preview is an openly released model for generating small images from English text prompts, and for experimenting with small-scale image-model training. [1]

Turn a single object image into a 3D model

Idol converts a photo, render, or generated image of an object into a 3D Gaussian splat, a format for representing a 3D scene. It can also generate views of sides that were not visible in the source image, and save the result as a standard `.ply` file. [2] That could be useful for people creating or experimenting with 3D objects from images; the record does not say how accurately the unseen sides are reconstructed. [2]

See where an organization’s Claude usage and costs come from

Anthropic’s beta Usage and Cost Analytics API gives Claude Console and Claude Enterprise organizations a way to retrieve token usage and cost reports. The reports can be filtered or grouped by factors such as model, workspace, API key, and the user or service account behind a request. [4] It is aimed at teams that want to analyze Claude requests across an organization; it is a beta API, not a general-purpose reporting tool for all users. [4]

Copilot can select models for a coding task

GitHub Copilot Fusion is now generally available as a system that routes coding tasks to models and coordinates them. It takes the prompt and a user-selected effort level into account, while administrators can control which models it is allowed to use. [7] The change is for developers who would rather not choose or switch models for each step of a coding task. The record does not claim that this produces better results than choosing models manually. [7]

An openly released model for small text-to-image experiments

AuroraIMG2-50M-Preview generates 256×256 images from English text prompts. Its weights and code are released under Apache 2.0, so it can also be studied and used for small-scale text-to-image training experiments. [1] The release includes a small decoder, but the record does not provide performance comparisons or claim that the model is suited to production image generation. [1]

Also on the radar

  • Qwen-Audio-3.1-TTS-Plus offers multilingual and dialect speech generation, with controls for qualities such as emotion, tone, speaking rate, and volume; it is available through an API. [3]
  • AgentFlux is a self-hosted visual workflow and agent builder that connects documents, data sources, and language models, and can run on a computer or server using Docker. [6]
  • Copilot CLI adds a persistent C++ code index that can help with tasks such as finding definitions and references, with increased initial build time and memory use. Copilot code review adds more detailed per-user review settings and an enterprise default effort setting. [9] [10]
  • Copilot app (Local sandboxing) is in public preview, with per-project policies that restrict filesystem, network, and credential access during local sessions. SageMaker AI endpoints add support for SOCI-indexed container images for training and processing jobs, which load needed files first and stream the rest in the background. [12] [5]

SageMaker AI endpoints

SageMaker AI endpoints are AWS-managed inference endpoints for deploying generative AI models where AWS handles GPU provisioning, autoscaling, and operational monitoring. In 2026 AWS introduced multiple enhancements including automated inference recommendations, multi-instance capacity-aware pools, an OpenAI-compatible API surface, container caching to reduce cold-starts, token-level observability, inline async payloads, and prefix-aware routing for KV cache reuse.

Adds support for SOCI-indexed container images for training and processing jobs, which lazy-load needed files and stream the rest in the background.

GitHub Copilot

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.

Repository plugin defaults and enterprise-managed plugin controls are generally available across VS Code, Copilot CLI, and the GitHub Copilot app.

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.

Repository plugin defaults and enterprise-managed plugin controls are generally available across VS Code, Copilot CLI, and the GitHub Copilot app.
