Agentic autofix for code scanning alerts general availability
Agentic autofix for code scanning alerts is now generally available. It remediates alerts by working across your codebase the way a developer would: it explores relevant files, proposes a fix, and reruns CodeQL to confirm the fix closes the alert before opening a pull request for your review.
HydraFusion updates and new Max option
HydraFusion has an updated model pool, improved orchestration workflows, and introduces HydraFusion Max. Both HydraFusion and HydraFusion Max are available across VS Code, the GitHub Copilot app, and GitHub Copilot CLI and remain in research preview.
Gemini 4 Argon in GitHub Copilot
Gemini 4 Argon, Google’s newest frontier model, is now generally available in GitHub Copilot. It is designed for complex coding, agentic, and reasoning tasks. In early testing, Gemini 4 Argon solved more tasks than previous Gemini models on every coding benchmark, with its largest gains in Copilot CLI.
Enterprise managed settings enforcement updates
Enterprise administrators can now require supported GitHub Copilot clients to retrieve current server-managed settings at startup instead of relying on a cached policy. We are also adding minimum client version requirements to governance-focused managed settings keys over time, starting with the sandbox key.
Client telemetry user attribution and configurable capture
Enterprise administrators can now use telemetry in managed settings to attribute GitHub Copilot activity to a user without collecting their prompts, responses, or tool content. The telemetry.capture.identity setting adds three attributes to OpenTelemetry (OTel) data: user.name : The authenticated Copilot account name, currently the GitHub login.
New controls and chat improvements in Copilot for JetBrains
This update brings more control over default models and MCP server in GitHub Copilot for JetBrains. It also makes diagnostics easier to address, improves chat navigation and account controls, and strengthens reliability across agent sessions, customizations, and worktrees.

Make a voice you already have speak another language or accent, with the same speaker. Call POST /voice-generator/localize on a flagship or custom voice, pick an accent, and get candidates back in seconds to audition and convert like Voice Design candidates. GET /voice-generator/available-accents lists the accents you can target.
Unified Login for SendGrid Marketplace Customers
SendGrid marketplace customers can now take advantage of the Unified Login feature that lets you create a Twilio login for every individual user accessing your SendGrid account. This provides a more secure access pattern with the ability to define permissions for each user instead of a single, shared admin permission set.
Spot slow and flaky tests faster from your test suite Summary
Your test suite's Summary page now brings together more of the data you need to keep your suite healthy and fast, so you can see where time is going and where reliability is slipping without digging through individual tests.
Know when the Buildkite CLI is done or needs you, without watching its tab
You can now see when bk preflight or bk build watch finishes or needs you, without switching back to its tab. From Buildkite CLI v3.64.0 , bk tells your terminal what it's doing, so a terminal that supports it can show you while you work somewhere else.
READ METADATA privilege support for compliance security profile standards
The READ METADATA privilege now supports all compliance security profile standards supported by Databricks and is available by default for workspaces with the compliance security profile enabled. For a full list of supported compliance standards, see Compliance security profile .
