Cursor canvases are agent-generated interactive artifacts -- dashboards, reports, audits -- that render beside the chat. Cursor saves each one to your workspace canvas list, so you can reopen, edit, and rerun it later with fresh data. Publishing a canvas as a browser link for teammates needs a paid plan and a team.
Cursor added shared canvases -- you can now share a canvas from Cursor with your team by generating a link to a live snapshot that teammates open in the browser. Recipients view it read-only in the Cursor Dashboard, so you distribute a working dashboard or report instead of a full chat thread. Shared canvases are available on Pro, Teams, and Enterprise plans.
Anthropic says enterprise-managed auth for MCP connectors is now generally available. Claude Team and Enterprise admins can centralize authorization through their identity provider, while users receive connector access automatically without individual OAuth consent flows.
Cursor Router is the routing system behind Auto, and Cursor documents it as available only on Teams and Enterprise plans. Open the model picker, select Auto, and pick Cost, Balance, or Intelligence under Optimize For. Every mode bills at the list price of whichever model the request is routed to.
OpenAI says the GPT-5.6 model family, including Sol, Terra, and Luna, is now available in Kiro. The OpenAI-AWS update targets structured, long-running software work and reports roughly an 82% cost reduction per successful Terminal-Bench 2.1 task for GPT-5.6 Terra in Kiro's spec-driven environment.
OpenAI executive Tibo first announced a usage reset for paid ChatGPT Work and Codex users on August 8, 2026, then said the five-hour limit will return for Plus accounts across both products on August 26. The approved posts do not publish a numeric allowance, a new API billing rule, or details beyond that plan and product scope.
OpenAI added teammate editing to ChatGPT Sites. A Site owner can give an active member of the same ChatGPT workspace Can edit access; editors can update and save the Site, then publish later versions to the same URL after the owner’s first publish. Ownership, access, URL, secrets, and custom-domain controls remain with the owner.
ChatGPT Voice now provides a hands-free way to start, monitor, and steer Codex work. OpenAI says Voice can coordinate Codex tasks in the ChatGPT desktop app, while mobile access is available through Remote on iOS after pairing an iPhone with a desktop host. Voice conversations use the Codex task’s usage budget and require a new chat or task to begin in voice mode.
Claude Code now continues your session automatically when a claude.ai usage limit resets. Anthropic's changelog documents the behavior in version 2.1.234 as on by default, with an opt-out in /config named 'Continue automatically at usage limit'. It resumes work after a reset; it does not raise or remove the limit.
Claude Code's Remote Control update lets you start a session from the Claude mobile app, choose a directory on a connected machine, and continue working from a phone, tablet, or browser. The code and tools still run on the local machine, while the phone acts as a remote control surface.
Cursor introduced Side chats: separate, durable agent conversations that run alongside a main chat and can be @-mentioned to pull context back.
Cursor says Cloud Agents can start up to 3x faster with Builds, ready-to-use copies of development environments prepared in the background. Builds keep agents on the latest successful environment, expose logs and version history in the dashboard, and are now the default path for every Cloud Agent environment.
OpenAI's API platform now lets teams group Usage and Costs data by API key and set monthly organization or project spend limits. The dashboard feature helps identify which apps and workloads drive spend, while a hard limit can stop affected API traffic with a documented 429 error after the cap is reached.
Claude Code Routines is Anthropic's new way to run saved Claude Code configurations automatically -- by schedule, API call, or GitHub event. Routines run on Anthropic's cloud infrastructure with a prompt, repo, and MCP connectors. Available in research preview on Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans.
Anthropic says Claude Security scans now run on Claude Mythos 5 for Claude Enterprise customers. The public-beta product scans connected codebases, returns CWE, confidence, severity, and suggested-fix details, and opens approved fixes in Claude Code on the web without exposing the Mythos model directly.
OpenAI reduced GPT-5.6 Luna pricing by 80% and Terra by 20%, then announced temporary GPT-5.6 Sol API and credit pricing relief for the next three months. OpenAI also renamed Priority processing to Fast mode and updated its pricing guidance for the GPT-5.6 family.
Ox Alpha is an anonymous stealth reasoning model built for coding and sustained agentic work, released August 20 with a 1,048,576-token context window, text, image, and video input, and $0 pricing. OpenRouter and OpenCode both serve it free for about a week; OpenCode says usage is near unlimited and does not count against Go plans.
Five major AI coding platforms schedule and trigger agents differently. Claude Code Routines and Cursor Automations both ship schedules, API calls, and native source-control events; Cursor's trigger set is by far the widest. OpenAI's product is now ChatGPT scheduled tasks and is still schedule-only. Warp orchestrates other vendors' agents. Gemini CLI ships no scheduler.
Anthropic says computer use, browser use, the Skills API, and the Files API are now generally available on the Claude Platform, combining multi-action software control with versioned skills and reusable files for production agents.
Codex access tokens are ChatGPT Business and Enterprise workspace credentials for non-interactive Codex CLI runs. Create one in the ChatGPT admin console at chatgpt.com/admin/access-tokens, then authenticate with the CODEX_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable or codex login --with-access-token. Hooks are the in-session extensibility framework: eleven lifecycle events, of which only command handlers execute today.
Cursor doubled the included usage pool for its own models, and staff confirmed in writing that it is permanent: 'The doubled pool stays.' The pool now covers three models -- Cursor Grok 4.6, Grok 4.5, and Composer 2.5. What expired on July 21, 2026 was a separate 50 percent launch discount on Grok 4.5.
SpaceXAI released Grok 4.6 on August 12, focused on long-running agents and visual work. It is live in Cursor and Grok Build with 2x included usage for the first week, and in the API plus OpenRouter, Vercel, and Cloudflare. Pricing starts at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens.
OpenAI added transparent-background output in preview for gpt-image-2 and gpt-image-2-2026-04-21 across the Images API and Responses API image-generation tool, with PNG or WebP output required.
Anthropic launched Claude Design on April 17, 2026 -- a research preview from Anthropic Labs that turns a prompt, uploaded image, or codebase into polished prototypes, pitch decks, and mockups. Powered by Claude Opus 4.7 vision, it learns your team's design system, exports to Canva, PDF, PPTX, or HTML, and packages finished designs for Claude Code handoff.
