Steering agents mid-task New input now takes effect during a running turn instead of waiting in a queue. Queued prompts can also be edited, reordered or sent at the next turn boundary. Seen in: Amp, Claude Code, Cline, OpenAI Codex, Mistral Vibe, DeepSeek Harness
Per-subagent model choice Orchestrating agents or users can pick the model, provider and reasoning effort for each subagent. Plugin-defined agents can be chosen when spawning. Seen in: Google Antigravity, DeepSeek Harness, Kilo Code, Grok Build
Git worktrees for isolated work Agents and sessions get their own managed checkouts, so the main working tree stays untouched. Worktrees are created from the UI or CLI and cleaned up afterwards. Seen in: Cline, OpenAI Codex, Grok Build, Mistral Vibe, Windsurf, Amp
Latest frontier models arrive everywhere at once GPT-6 variants, Claude Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5 and Fable 5.1 reached most tools within the month. Many tools offer 1M-token context and updated pricing. Seen in: Amp, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Kiro, Pi, Zed, Goose
Sign in with a ChatGPT subscription Tools let developers use an existing ChatGPT plan instead of a separate API key. Some show usage and cost in the input footer. Seen in: CodeWhale, Pi, Warp, Windsurf
Safer execution and review of agent work Tools add approval prompts for sensitive files and risky tool calls, stricter handling of untrusted workspaces, and automated security or code review of pull requests. Seen in: Augment Code, Kiro, Mistral Vibe, Cursor, Devin
Code mode: tool calls as one program Models can write a sandboxed JavaScript program that calls several tools in parallel. This replaces many separate tool calls. Seen in: CodeWhale, Pi
Fullscreen terminal UIs and rich rendering Terminal interfaces gain fullscreen layouts with search and mouse support. Diagrams, equations and charts now render inline in chat or the terminal. Seen in: OpenAI Codex, Kimi Code, Kiro, Pi, Google Antigravity, Factory Droid
Update:Remote and self-hosted execution Remote work now covers your own machines. Agents run on self-hosted or shared runners, SSH hosts and pluggable cloud providers, with the UI kept local. Seen in: Amp, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, Qwen Code, DeepSeek Harness
Update:Voice input and spoken interaction Live voice conversations moved from experiments to defaults and reached more tools. Some add streaming transcription or calls with screen sharing. Seen in: OpenAI Codex, Goose, Devin, Qwen Code, Cline, MiMo Code
