GitHub published documentation outlining slash commands for Copilot CLI, the company's terminal-based AI coding assistant. The guide targets developers new to using AI agents directly in command-line environments.
GitHub has published beginner documentation for Copilot CLI's slash commands. The guide covers how to control the terminal AI agent using command shortcuts.
Amazon Web Services today announced availability of Google DeepMind's Gemma 4 family on Amazon Bedrock. The open-weight models include three instruction-tuned variants spanning 2.3B to 30.7B parameters, with 256K context windows, multimodal input support, and built-in reasoning mode.
Anthropic shut down access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models on June 12, 2026, following a White House order to block foreign national access. The directive came after Amazon security researchers reportedly found jailbreak methods that could expose cybersecurity vulnerabilities, though Anthropic disputes the severity of the findings.
Microsoft released FastContext-1.0, a lightweight repository-exploration subagent for LLM coding agents spanning 4B to 30B parameters. The model reduced main-agent token consumption by up to 60% while improving end-to-end resolution rates by up to 5.5% on SWE-bench Pro when integrated with agents like GPT-5.4 and GLM-5.1.
Meta launched AI Mode on Facebook, a search feature that uses Meta AI to generate answers from public posts, Groups, and Reels instead of displaying traditional search results. The feature allows users to ask questions in plain language and receive synthesized responses based on platform discussions.
Anthropic released version 0.109.2 of its Python SDK on June 15, 2026, removing retired models from the API and SDK. The update represents a maintenance release focused on cleaning up deprecated model endpoints.
AWS has launched LangChain Deep Agents, an orchestration framework that spawns isolated subagents using Amazon Bedrock AgentCore infrastructure. AgentCore provides dedicated browser MicroVMs running Chromium via Playwright and full Python environments with pre-installed data science libraries, enabling parallel agent execution without context window competition.
Anthropic pulled Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 from all users worldwide on June 13, 2026, following a US government directive citing national security authorities. The directive, issued with approximately 90 minutes notice, claimed awareness of a jailbreak method, though Anthropic disputes the severity and uniqueness of the vulnerability.
Google's upcoming Pixel Drop will bring Screen Reactions and Gemini Omni-powered features to Pixel phones, according to promotional videos discovered on Amazon. The update, overdue based on Google's typical quarterly schedule following March 2026's release, appears to coincide with Android 17's stable release.
Anthropic's Fable 5 AI model was pulled from public access Friday night after Amazon reported security vulnerabilities to the White House. The administration imposed export controls on Anthropic's Mythos-class models just days after the June 9 release.
