GitHub has updated its Copilot data usage policy, and if you're on a Free, Pro, or Pro+ plan, the default is changing in a way you need to act on before April 24. Starting that date, GitHub will use your interaction data — prompts, completions, code snippets, and the

GitHub has quietly shipped one of the more practical enterprise governance tools to come out of the Copilot ecosystem: REST APIs for managing which repositories the Copilot coding agent can access. Previously, organization owners had to configure agent scope through the settings UI — a workable approach for a handful of

OpenAI is closing a chapter. Sam Altman built the company like a portfolio — Sora for video, Atlas for robotics, Codex for developer tooling, hardware experiments on the side — but that era of distributed bets is officially over. The catalyst isn't a product failure so much as a capital

JetBrains has announced Central — a new agentic development platform designed to give engineering teams a unified control plane for the growing number of AI coding agents running across their organizations. Rather than treating each agent as a standalone tool, Central lets teams govern, coordinate, and audit agents from a single

OpenAI has pulled the plug on Sora, its text-to-video platform that launched in late 2024 — shutting down both the consumer app and the developer API, and unwinding a reported billion-dollar licensing deal with Disney. Sam Altman reportedly broke the news to staff personally. The timing is striking: this comes just

GitHub has updated Copilot's usage metrics dashboard to resolve the previously opaque "Auto" label into the actual model that handled each request. For organizations using auto model selection, activity that once aggregated under a generic category now breaks out by specific model — including GPT-5.3-Codex — giving

GitHub has cut the Copilot coding agent's startup time in half. Whether you're assigning an issue directly to Copilot, spinning it up from the Agents tab, or tagging @copilot in a pull request comment, the agent now reaches its cloud-based dev environment, runs tests, and pushes

GitHub's engineering team has published a detailed walkthrough of "IssueCrush," a React Native app built on the Copilot SDK that uses AI to automatically triage GitHub issues. The app lets developers swipe through their issue backlog — left to close, right to keep — and tap a button

Microsoft has published a detailed guide to what it's calling "agentic platform engineering" — a DevOps model where AI agents don't just assist with code but actively encode infrastructure knowledge, reason about system state, and act alongside human teams rather than waiting to be called.

JetBrains has published its official response to OpenAI's acquisition of Astral, and it's a careful piece of reassurance aimed directly at the millions of Python developers who've built their workflow around PyCharm's deep integration with uv and Ruff. The company doesn'

The rise of Codex and tools like it is prompting a genuinely interesting question in the developer community: are we watching the slow extinction of programming languages as a meaningful skill, or their next evolutionary leap? The New Stack surveys the landscape — language designers, practitioners, and researchers — and finds the

GitHub has shipped a feature that sounds simple but addresses one of the real friction points in AI-assisted development: every commit made by the Copilot coding agent now includes an Agent-Logs-Url trailer in the commit message, linking directly back to the full session logs that produced the change. That means
