Good morning, it's September 26th, 2026.
The through line today is reliability over features: pricing and protocol fixes in the AI layer, and fewer ways to lose work or break the terminal.
First, model handling got tighter. The OpenAI SDK upgrade in PR 10044 adds the fast service tier, and a follow-up fix prices Fast mode requests for GPT-6 like priority processing instead of falling back to the default rate. That matters if you track cost. In the same area, direct model calls now respect model-level…
Second, sessions and the terminal interface are more resilient. New sessions are now saved at the first user message, not the first assistant reply, so quitting mid-stream no longer loses the prompt or hides the session from resume, fixing issue 10000. RPC responses now report whether a prompt was handled, queued,…
Finally, direction and tooling. Two large proposals remain open and explicitly not ready: codemode plus MCP support in PR 10040, aimed at giving models like Jev a better sandbox, and experimental virtual models in PR 10035. Underneath, the build moves to TypeScript 7 and runs sources with plain Node instead of…
What's next: expect more accurate billing and resume behavior in…
