An open-weight coding model reaches every Copilot surface you already use

Kimi K3 is generally available in GitHub Copilot across Pro, Pro+, Max, Business and Enterprise, reaching VS Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains, Xcode, Eclipse, Copilot CLI, GitHub Mobile and github.com. GitHub hosts the open-weight model on Fireworks AI and bills it under usage-based billing at $3 per 1M input tokens and $15 per 1M output, with cached input at $0.30. Business and Enterprise plans have it off by default until an administrator enables the policy.

Skills you wrote for Cursor now import into Codex

Codex CLI 0.147.0 imports Cursor-managed skills and synchronises changes to imported Claude and Cursor conversations without creating duplicates. The release adds portable Agent Plugins with search across local, personal, workspace and remote catalogs, an approve-for-me flag for automatically reviewed approvals, and opt-in support for the MCP 2026-07-28 protocol with paginated discovery and multi-round requests. It also redacts secrets and bearer tokens from displayed commands and replayed history, hardens plugin isolation, and drops the deprecated full-auto flag in favour of a workspace-write sandbox.

A sidebar holds several conversations at once, and one can take its own worktree

The Copilot CLI gains a Sessions sidebar for managing several conversations at once, with keyboard shortcuts to open and close them, an experimental worktree command that gives a conversation its own isolated workspace, and a rewind command that no longer depends on Git. In the Copilot app, each completed request now shows which model handled it, along with AI credit and cache details, and a side command opens a parallel question without disturbing the current thread. VS Code 1.132 adds element-level feedback in the integrated browser and on-device multilingual dictation.

A GitHub URL is enough to drop new capabilities into Kiro

Kiro IDE v1.0.288 supports Powers packaged in the open Agent Plugin format, so bundles of skills and MCP servers install from a local folder or a GitHub URL and are easier to share across compatible agent tools. The Agent Focus Mode session rail is reworked with pinning to keep a session at the top of its section, in-app updates, and a hand-off that resumes an existing session in Kiro CLI. Kiro moves to Code OSS v1.109.5, and spec hovers and MCP installs now handle untrusted workspace content more carefully.

Your agent keeps working toward a goal after you close the app

OpenChamber is an MIT-licensed workspace for running and supervising agent work from a desktop app, a browser, VS Code or a phone, and it carries 8,000 stars on GitHub. Session goals let it check the result after every turn and keep an agent working until the goal is met, blocked or at a limit you set, even once the app is closed, and multi-agent runs execute from one prompt in isolated worktrees. It runs on the OpenCode SDK, installs from GitHub Releases or a shell script needing Node.js 22 or later, and keeps code and session content on your machine.
