AI digest: 2026-10-27

Highlights

• Claude Code 2.1.311: type ultrathink to run a single turn at xhigh effort. Standard-context sessions now compact instead of stopping at 200K tokens, and subagents can use MCP servers that connect late.
• Copilot assisted permissions are GA: a model approves safe commands in Copilot CLI, the Copilot app, and VS Code (/permissions → assisted). It is GitHub's counterpart to Claude Code's auto mode.
• GPT-6.1 Terra: a mid-priced OpenAI model for computer use and vision at $1 / $5 per 1M tokens, half the price of Sol.

New sources

Agents and tooling

• Claude Code release 2.1.311: ultrathink = xhigh, 200K compaction fix, subagent MCP and hook fixes.
• GitHub Copilot assisted permissions GA: model-judged auto-approval of safe actions, with admin controls.
• webframe: run a web page from the shell in the system web view; a light scraping tool for agents.

Frameworks and libraries

• Pydantic AI v2.62.0: steerable background subagents, compaction the model can request, batch APIs.

Models

• GPT-6.1 Terra: $1 / $5, 1.05M context, computer use and vision focus, also in Copilot.
• Gemini API logs: storage on by default: new paid projects keep requests for 55 days unless you opt out.
