The preview and GA features roll out to all Copilot users in late October 2026. What changed New Relic introduced three integrations for GitHub Copilot: Change Tracking, Autopilot, and Preflight. Change Tracking links AI‑generated code deployments to production performance, running pre‑merge checks, canary gates, and regression detection against live telemetry. Autopilot connects New Relic’s SRE agent to GitHub’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, giving incident‑response teams code‑level context when triaging alerts. Preflight provides developers with local visibility into model efficiency, latency,…

Google rolled out a voice recorder feature for Gemini Notebook on Android and iOS in October 2026. It lets users capture audio directly into notebooks, but it requires an internet connection, caps recordings at one hour, and has deletion glitches, making it less flexible than the Pixel Recorder app. What changed Gemini Notebook now includes a built‑in voice recorder that appears as a microphone icon in the Sources tab or on the home screen. When tapped, recording starts immediately, the file uploads to Google’s servers, and a transcription appears within seconds. The feature is available in version 1.63.1002728510 and is…

The feature ships in late October 2026 as part of Red Hat’s collaboration with Nvidia. What changed Red Hat announced that OpenShell, an open‑source runtime originally built by Nvidia, now provides a sandbox environment for AI agents. The sandbox isolates each agent in its own container‑like space, using native Kubernetes APIs to enforce security and governance. This addition addresses concerns that arose after the rapid adoption of OpenClaw, an autonomous AI agent that can access a wide range of data…

On October 9 2026 Google trimmed Gemini’s free tier to the Flash‑Lite model and removed access to the Flash and Pro models.
