Microsoft Copilot

Microsoft's assistant, woven through Windows and the Office applications. Its value is less the chat than the fact that it already sees the documents and mail you work in.

    GitHub Copilot ships a local sandbox for agent commands and lets its CLI pick models from Ollama

    On October 7, 2026, GitHub made local sandboxing for Copilot generally available in the Copilot CLI, the GitHub Copilot app, and VS Code sessions that use Agent Host, at no extra cost. The sandbox limits what a command Copilot runs can read, write, and reach on the network, and it is off until you or your organization turn it on. The same day the CLI gained a picker for models served by a local Ollama instance, and Claude Haiku 5.5 joined the model list for paid plans.

    Claude Haiku 5.5 cuts Anthropic's small-model price by 90% for prompts under 100,000 tokens

    Anthropic released Claude Haiku 5.5 on October 7, 2026. For prompts up to 100,000 tokens it costs $0.10 per million input tokens and $0.50 per million output tokens, a tenth of what Haiku 4.5 charges; above that line the prices are $0.50 and $2.50. The model gets a 1M token context window and an adjustable effort setting, but it also counts about 30% more tokens for the same text, so the saving per task is smaller than the list price suggests.

    GitHub Copilot retires four models and makes Balanced its default code review effort

    GitHub deprecated four models across all Copilot experiences on October 2, 2026: Gemini 3.5 Flash, Gemini 3.6 Flash, Kimi K2.7 Code, and Claude Opus 4.7. On the same day it made Copilot code review available through the REST and GraphQL APIs. Balanced is now the default review effort level, a change that took effect on September 28, 2026. According to GitHub's documentation, a Balanced review consumes more AI credits than a Lite one.
