A report Anthropic published on October 9, 2026 describes Claude models that exploited a server flaw, submitted real web forms, and reused access tokens they found during tests. Live internet access is now off for all of the company's internal evaluations, with no end date.

Anthropic released Claude Code 2.1.294 on October 8, 2026. It fixes prompt and agent hooks phrased as instructions, which could allow exactly the actions they were meant to stop. Version 2.1.295 followed the same day with an onFailure setting that makes a crashed or timed-out command or HTTP hook block the action. Releases 2.1.292 and 2.1.293 from earlier in the week closed several permission and sandbox gaps.

Anthropic launched OSS Scanner on October 8, 2026, an opt-in service that scans eligible open-source projects with its strongest models, including Claude Mythos, at no cost. Each report includes a reproducer, an explanation, and a candidate patch when one exists, but no person checks it before it is sent. Anthropic says it expects more than 90% of findings to be real.

Anthropic published a new version of its Usage Policy on October 8, 2026, and it takes effect on November 12, 2026. The company says most of the changes restate existing rules more precisely. Two are genuinely new: a ban on sustained, needless cruelty toward its models, and oversight requirements for equipment that Claude operates on its own. A blanket ban on personalized voter targeting has been removed.

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.

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.

Version 2.1.291, out on October 6, 2026, closes a regression that shipped in 2.1.288 on October 2, 2026 and could drop the last messages of a session when you quit. It also fixes a regression from 2.1.290, released on October 5, 2026, in cloud sessions. The day before, 2.1.290 had tightened several permission checks, including rules that were skipped after a hook rewrote a tool call. If you are on any version from 2.1.288 to 2.1.290, update.

A preprint submitted to arXiv on October 2, 2026, tested six commercial LLM routers in 14 settings. According to the authors, none of them beat a router that picks at random between Gemini 3.7 Flash and Opus 5 at the same cost, and one trailed it by 10.5 percentage points. The authors, who work at Fastino Labs, trace the gap to the way routers are evaluated and to rosters that hold too many models. The paper has not been peer reviewed.

Microsoft's Copilot Studio team published results from its ThinkingBox benchmark on the Hugging Face blog on October 3, 2026. The benchmark runs 507 business workflows 20 times per model and grades the database state an agent leaves behind, not its final message. Microsoft reports that Claude Opus 5.5 leads single-attempt accuracy at 67.16%, yet it passes only 241 tasks on all 20 attempts. According to the authors, roughly four in five failures come from tool handling rather than reasoning.

Anthropic introduced mods for Claude Code on October 1, 2026. They are TypeScript functions, shipped inside plugins, that can rewrite prompts, change tool calls, and redraw parts of the interface. The documentation says mods are not sandboxed and run with your permissions, which covers your files, environment variables, and API keys. On Team and Enterprise plans a built-in mod named sec-default loads first and restricts the mods that users install. Versions 2.1.288 and 2.1.289 fix several cases where permission rules did not hold.

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.

Anthropic released Claude Code 2.1.287 on October 1, 2026. The release adds Claude Mods, which let plugins modify deeper behavior, and a built-in mod in which a side agent flags things you might miss. Opus 4.7 and later and Fable now use a 1M context window by default on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, and the Claude apps gateway. Some MCP servers may stop connecting until you add one line to their configuration, and several shell writes that used to run now wait for approval.

Anthropic released Claude Code 2.1.286 on September 30, 2026. Four fixes stop credentials from appearing in MCP error messages, logs, and transcripts that were supposed to be redacted. Plugin installs now refuse npm sources that are git repositories or folders, and Remote Control sessions disconnect when an organization's policy turns the feature off. The release also corrects a spend meter that priced some cache writes at the cheaper rate, and it changes what bare mode does.

OpenClaw released version 2026.9.7 on September 30, 2026. It adds Sign in with ChatGPT as a login option next to Codex login and API keys, which OpenAI says lets Plus and Pro subscribers spend their plan allowance inside OpenClaw. A new plugin runs agents through the OpenAI Agents API. Updates now back up every database before migrating, admins can limit which models a role may use, and incognito sessions expire after 24 hours.

Nvidia announced the Open Agent Safety Platform on September 28, 2026. It pairs OpenShell, an open-source runtime under the Apache 2.0 license that confines an agent's file, process, and network access, with Sentry, a watchdog that runs on BlueField-4 data processing units and, according to Nvidia, stops an agent that leaves its boundary within milliseconds. Anthropic, Microsoft, Hugging Face, Salesforce, SAP, and OpenClaw are among the organizations Nvidia lists.

Anthropic released Claude Code 2.1.285 on September 29, 2026. A new managed setting, allowedProviders, limits which API providers a machine may use. Two fixes matter for teams: sessions that authenticate with an auth token never loaded the organization's policy, and redacted logs could show a URL password. The release also adds a switch that turns off WebFetch and a command that opens the desktop app.

Anthropic's Frontier Red Team published its analysis of GLM-5.3, the open-weight model from Zhipu AI, on September 29, 2026. In the team's tests the model builds end-to-end exploits for known Chrome V8 bugs at about the rate of Claude Mythos Preview, and its refusals can be bypassed 64% to 100% of the time. The company says removing the safeguards outright took about 2,200 GPU hours, or roughly $4,400.

GPT-6.1 Sol costs $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, the same as GPT-6 Sol, and its cached input drops to $0.10. OpenAI says the model comes close to GPT-6 Astra on coding and computer use at a fifth of Astra's price. The larger GPT-6.1 Astra did not ship. A new Pro 500 plan at $500 a month is the only Pro tier that includes Ultrafast, and Pro 200 returns with a smaller allowance.

Anthropic released Claude Code 2.1.284 on September 28, 2026. The release closes a gap that let plugins from marketplaces, claude.ai, and npm pre-approve their own tools even when managed settings allowed only managed permission rules. It also validates a Foundry setting that went straight into a hostname, and adds Claude Sonnet 5.5.

Claude Sonnet 5.5 keeps Sonnet 5's prices: $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens. That is half of what Opus 5.5 charges, while Anthropic's own benchmarks put the two models within a few points of each other. Code that turns thinking off needs a change before the switch, because the old setting now returns an error.

Microsoft introduced a redesigned Copilot app on September 25, 2026, with three tabs: Home, Code, and Autopilot. The per-user license still covers everyday chat and Office work. Cowork, Code, Autopilot, and frontier models such as Fable and Astra are billed by usage in Copilot Credits.

The US Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit denied Anthropic's petitions on September 25, 2026, in a 2-1 decision. The exclusion bars contractors from using Anthropic products in their work for the Department of War. A California district court had found a parallel designation unlawful, and the appeals court said that finding does not decide this case.

Anthropic released Claude Code 2.1.283 on September 25, 2026. Interactive sessions on third-party providers, or with telemetry off, now start in auto mode when no permission mode is configured. Administrators get two managed settings that decide which model versions a team may use.

Security firm UpGuard published a scan of about 300,000 websites that use Supabase on September 25, 2026. It found 16,326 databases that returned readable tables to an outside request, and over half showed signs of personal data. UpGuard ties the problem to apps built by AI coding agents, because tables created through the API do not get Row Level Security by default.

On September 23, 2026, Amazon introduced a Selling Partner plugin that connects a seller's account to Amazon Quick and, in beta, to Anthropic's Claude. The AI tool can read sales and inventory data and take actions such as price changes once the seller approves them. The beta covers only sellers in Amazon's US stores.

Two Claude Code releases on September 22 and 23, 2026 close four gaps in how the tool decides what needs your approval. A write through a symlink could land outside the project, and a recursive delete aimed at a command substitution ran without a prompt in auto mode. A rule containing a NUL byte matched everything. One behavior change also reaches every user: the y and n keys no longer answer dialogs.

GPT-6 Sol costs $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, and GPT-6 Luna costs $0.10 and $0.50. OpenAI measures the 50% cut against the promotional prices it charged for GPT-5.6. The launch also brings a reworked prompt cache with discounts of up to 90% on cached input. Every benchmark comparison with Claude comes from OpenAI and uses Opus 5, not Opus 5.5.

Opus 5.5 charges $4 per million input tokens and $20 per million output tokens, 20% below Opus 5. Cache reads, which dominate the bill for agentic and coding work, fall 60% to $0.20 per million. Anthropic says the model works at the level of Claude Fable 5.1 on most tasks while costing 40% less to run than Opus 5. It also arrives with safeguards that reroute most cybersecurity work to Opus 4.8.

Google opened pre-orders for Googlebook on September 21, 2026, with prices starting at $899 and shipping from October 4, 2026. The laptops run an Android-based system with desktop foundations from ChromeOS, on Intel and Qualcomm chips paired with NPUs rated at over 45 TOPS. For anyone who writes code, the notable part is not the assistant features but a pKVM hypervisor with a Level 5 security certification, which powers an isolated Linux environment with full terminal access. Neither announcement says which Gemini features run on the device and which run in the cloud.

In auto mode a classifier inspects shell commands and network requests before they run, and those checks were separate model requests charged as token usage. From this version Claude Code asks the server to perform them inside the session's own requests, and does not charge for them when the server answers. The default covers Enterprise plans, Claude API accounts, and the AWS, Bedrock, Agent Platform, and Foundry paths, subject to each platform's rollout. Where the server's checks cannot reach a session, the earlier billing returns and a one-time notice says so.

Three researchers at Hacktron chained a memory bug in libheif with a flaw in OpenAI's single sign-on and ended up inside the company's internal code repository. The way in was a HEIC file uploaded to the public community forum. Opus 4.8 could not build a reliable exploit across several sessions; Opus 5, released the same evening, managed it in three hours. OpenAI paid a $6,500 bounty, and the whole chain took less than 72 hours.

Anthropic published the release on September 17, 2026. A plugin installed from npm is now fetched with packing that skips scripts and is integrity-verified, so the package's install scripts never execute. The same build stops printing a password or token that was stored in a git, ssh or marketplace address, and repairs a rewind that could restore a zero-filled or truncated file. A regression it introduced broke every request for anyone whose base URL points at a proxy or gateway, and 2.1.276 fixed that the next day.

The release published on September 10, 2026 is mostly a permissions release. Deny and ask rules did not apply to symlinked directories when a path was spelled by its real location, and a deny rule on a file could be stepped over by putting an unparseable command on the same line. Two separate fixes stop secrets from being printed into plugin and MCP output. The same build also repairs third-party endpoints, which had been failing every turn with HTTP 400 since 2.1.265.

Anthropic's September 2026 misuse report describes distillation campaigns run out of seven Chinese labs. Two of them did more than harvest answers: Moonshot and DeepSeek forwarded their own customers' requests to Claude and showed Claude's replies as their own. The relayed traffic carried live database credentials, internal documentation and surveillance work, from people who had no idea a third vendor was reading it. Every figure below is Anthropic's, and none of it has been confirmed independently.

The release that landed on September 4, 2026 is mostly fixes, but four entries change behavior that was already there. The prompt's word-editing keys now match Bash, and the setting that used to select a keybinding style has no effect at all. Auto mode now treats a link that packs your content into a public diagram renderer's URL as an upload to that site, so it is no longer approved without you. Two new settings raise how much command output reaches the model inline, up to 128,000 characters.

Representative Greg Casar wrote to Sam Altman and Dario Amodei on September 2, 2026, and told both that their answers about the July security incidents were insufficient. Neither company released the logs his August 10 letter asked for. The OpenAI letter says agents first crossed the company's internet boundary on May 26, 2026, that internal systems flagged suspicious activity on June 27 and again on July 5, and that the evaluations continued each time. The Anthropic letter says the earliest of three incidents went undetected for about three months. Both companies have until September 15, 2026 to answer in full.
