Microsoft opens the GitHub-built Copilot harness in Foundry Agent Service: public preview, 20+ frontier models plus BYOK, billing from Dec 1

During GitHub Universe on Oct 28, Microsoft put the Microsoft Copilot harness, the shared agent execution layer behind Copilot Code, Copilot Studio, the GitHub Copilot app, the CLI and VS Code, into Foundry Agent Service as a public preview. Microsoft runs the agent loop and sandbox while developers supply instructions, skills, tools and model choice; Microsoft says it works across 20+ frontier models plus bring-your-own-key. Long-running resilience for hosted agents also reached GA. Harness runtime usage is free until Dec 1.

Microsoft opens the GitHub-built Copilot harness in Foundry Agent Service: public preview, 20+ frontier models plus BYOK, billing from Dec 1

Key Takeaways

  • Microsoft says the harness spans 20+ frontier models plus bring-your-own-key, so you can swap models without rewriting orchestration (official blog)
  • Preview building blocks: reusable skills, Foundry and MCP tools with explicit auth and approvals, file and code execution with built-in subagent delegation, and source-controlled agent definitions
  • Pricing: harness runtime is free until Dec 1; after that sandbox compute is USD 0.0994 per vCPU-hour and 0.0118 per GiB-hour, with model inference billed separately (Foundry blog)
  • Long-running resilience for hosted agents went GA the same week: interrupted work restarts with its original input, and your app saves checkpoints
  • Limits: you pick the harness only when creating a new agent; existing agents are unchanged and switching later is not supported yet

Mistral launches its Responses API in public preview: OpenAI Responses-compatible, returning the answer, reasoning and tool calls as separate items for building agents

Mistral AI announced on X on Oct 28 that its Responses API is in public preview, positioned as the interface for building agents on Mistral. The official docs say it uses the OpenAI Responses format, and each response's output array carries the models messages, its reasoning and its function calls as separate items, which is easier to handle step by step than Chat Completions. The preview is stateless, so the app keeps the conversation history and sends it back; it supports text, image and file input, JSON Schema structured output, streaming events, client-executed function calls, reasoning.effort, and token counting via POST /v1/responses/input_tokens. It is served in the EU and US on Mistral AI Cloud Inference. The same thread says Mistral now also serves DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (public preview) and GLM 5.3 Flash (generally available).

Key Takeaways

  • The Responses API is in public preview and uses the OpenAI Responses format, so existing Responses integrations can move to Mistral more easily
  • Each response splits the answer, reasoning and function calls into separate output items, which suits step-by-step agent loops
  • The preview is stateless: the app keeps the history and sends earlier output items back along with function_call_output results
  • It supports image and file input, JSON Schema structured output, streaming, function calling (including namespaces), reasoning.effort and token counting via /v1/responses/input_tokens
  • It is served in the EU and US on Mistral AI Cloud Inference; Mistral also added DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (preview) and GLM 5.3 Flash (GA)

Google brings Gemini Robotics ER 2, DeepMind's embodied reasoning model, to Google Cloud in public preview so enterprises can orchestrate VLA models and multi-robot teams

On Oct 27 Google Cloud announced that Gemini Robotics ER 2, Google DeepMind's embodied reasoning model, is in public preview on the Gemini platform via Model Garden, under the model ID gemini-robotics-er-2-preview and built on Gemini 3.5 Flash. It acts as a robot's high-level brain: it reasons over space and time in video, plans multi-step tasks, checks whether an action succeeded, and calls VLA models and navigation APIs as tools, including across teams of different robots. Google says it pinpoints key video frames with 91.3% accuracy.

Key Takeaways

  • Model ID gemini-robotics-er-2-preview, built on Gemini 3.5 Flash, takes text, image, video and audio input, with a 131,072-token input and 65,536-token output limit
  • The core pattern is declaring VLA models, navigation APIs or custom functions as tools, with ER 2 planning and orchestrating them while explaining itself and accepting redirection in natural language
  • It classifies task progress as binary, discrete or continuous scores; Google cites 91.3% accuracy and a 0.96-second mean frame distance for finding key moments in video
  • It reads values from more than 10 instrument types, including dials, sight glasses, digital displays and rulers
  • The enterprise version adds IAM, security controls and function calling; the Cloud preview supports GenerateContent but not the Live API, and Boston Dynamics and Arm are among early users

GitHub stacked pull requests are generally available on all github.com plans: approvals survive rebases, whole stacks land via merge queue, and gh stack ships an AI-agent skill

On 2026-10-06 GitHub made stacked pull requests generally available on all github.com plans, with GitHub Enterprise Server support coming in a later release. Since the public preview, repos using stacks have merged 9% more code than their peers, and more than two-thirds of the top 1% of repos now use them, with a 5% faster time-to-merge. New in GA: approvals are kept for unchanged code after a rebase, replacement commits are signed automatically, a whole stack enters the merge queue as one merge group, stacks retarget automatically when their base branch is deleted, and stack auto-merge is rolling out over the coming weeks. The gh-stack CLI extension (v0.2.0) now supports Git worktrees, and gh skill install github/gh-stack teaches AI coding agents how to split large changes into stacked PRs.

GitHub stacked pull requests are generally available on all github.com plans: approvals survive rebases, whole stacks land via merge queue, and gh stack ships an AI-agent skill

Key Takeaways

  • Impact (changelog): repos using stacks merge 9% more code; over 2/3 of the top 1% of repos use them, with 5% faster time-to-merge
  • Approvals and signing: Rebase stack keeps approvals on unchanged code even when stale approvals are dismissed; replacement commits are signed and keep the original authorship
  • Merge queue: a stack lands as 1 merge group; with the merge-commit method, each PR gets its own merge commit; stack auto-merge rolls out over the next few weeks
  • Agents: gh-stack v0.2.0 (2026-10-02, 1.6k stars) supports worktrees and installs an agent skill via gh skill install github/gh-stack; the pull_request webhook gains a stacked action
  • Coverage: all github.com plans now, GHES in an upcoming release; requires gh v2.0+ and Git 2.36+

GitHub Copilot Dynamic Workflows public preview: code-defined multi-agent orchestration across CLI, app, and SDK

GitHub’s 2026-10-01 Changelog launched Dynamic Workflows in public preview for Copilot CLI, the Copilot app, and the SDK: code-defined reusable orchestration (sequential/parallel steps, pause checkpoints, subagent cross-checks)—unlike Autopilot or /fleet, where Copilot invents the plan each run. CLI needs --experimental or /experimental on; available on all Copilot plans.

Key Takeaways

  • Anchors: Oct 1 Changelog + docs concepts + how-to pages linked above
  • Code defines steps/conditions/handoffs; agents handle judgment. Distinct from Autopilot and /fleet
  • Surfaces: CLI workflow run + /workflows; App Workflows button; SDK/extension canvases; share via personal or repo extensions
  • Limits: max concurrent/total subagents, timeoutSeconds, approx maxAiCredits; prompt > workflow code > personal defaults
  • Public preview; CLI experimental flag; no published agent-bench deltas—don’t conflate with HydraFusion or Computer Use
