Memory in Claude Cowork, editable topics, and a sensitive topics setting

Memory now works across chat and Cowork in the cloud. Everything Claude remembers is listed under Topics in Settings > Memory, where you can edit or delete any item. Topics such as health or beliefs stay out of memory unless you turn on Include sensitive topics in memory. Memory is on by default for Free, Pro, and Max plans and off by default for Team and Enterprise organizations.

Browser extensions, site tools, and cloud sign-in

More browsers: Use the ChatGPT browser extension in Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera, and Vivaldi, as well as Chrome. Set up your browser in Settings > Computer Use in the ChatGPT desktop app. All five support tab mentions and browser control; Opera doesn't support side chat. Site tools (WebMCP): In the desktop app's built-in browser, ChatGPT Work and Codex can use tools provided by a website to work with the page. Use GPT-5.6 Sol or GPT-5.6 Terra and update to the latest desktop app. Site tools aren't available with GPT-5.6 Luna or in Enterprise or Edu workspaces. Cloud browser sign-in: On eligible plans, ChatGPT Work on the web, iOS, and Android can ask you to sign in to a supported website through the cloud browser. Enter your details in the sign-in flow, not in the chat. Cloud browser sessions stay separate from your local browser. Website sign-in isn't available for Enterprise or Edu workspaces. Availability depends on rollout and workspace settings. Website-access and action-confirmation requirements still apply.

Trigger scheduled tasks from Gmail, Slack, and GitHub events

ChatGPT scheduled tasks can now run when supported events occur in Gmail, Slack, or GitHub. Filter Gmail messages by sender or subject, watch selected Slack channels, or respond to pull request activity such as reviews, comments, commit updates, and merges. Event-triggered tasks are available in ChatGPT on the web and mobile for eligible plans. Connect the relevant app and approve its requested access before creating a task. The ChatGPT Slack app must be a member of each watched channel, and the connected GitHub app must have access to each watched repository. An event-triggered task can't also use a time-based schedule. When matching events arrive close together, ChatGPT may combine them in one run. Open Scheduled to review pending events or choose Run now. Learn how to trigger scheduled tasks from app events.

Skill icon branding, empty directory indexing in @-completion, and headless exit code fixes

Adds skill icon branding with Unicode alignment in catalogs and slash commands, indexes empty directories in @ path completion, auto-approves workspace-scoped read access in review mode, and fixes headless print mode error handling.

Google · Antigravity·Aug 25, 2026

Subagent-scoped custom tools, context compaction lifecycle hooks, and universal JSON schema normalization

The 0.1.15 release introduces subagent-exclusive tool scoping to reduce context overhead, adds an on_compaction lifecycle hook for observing context checkpointing, expands platform compatibility with Alpine Linux musl wheels, resolves workspace path normalization and custom Vertex endpoint routing, and adds universal JSON Schema normalization for custom Python tools when targeting local OpenAI-compatible LLM endpoints.

OpenAI · Codex app·Aug 24, 2026

Codex MCP server command deprecated

The codex mcp-server command is now deprecated. Use the Codex app server instead. Update, September 5, 2026: The command and standalone codex-mcp-server binary have been removed.

Dynamic remote control port allocation, banner logo toggles, and rendering flags

Introduces automatic free port selection for --remote-control, environment controls to suppress logo art for narrow terminals and screen readers, and renderer bypass options.

Anthropic · Claude Code·Aug 21, 2026

Claude Code 2.1.239

Added the one-time fullscreen renderer offer on Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry and other previously excluded setups; new installs there now start in fullscreen. Added /claude-api upgrade to migrate Python projects from anthropic 0.x to 1.x, and updated the skill's Python reference for 1.x (timeouts use anthropic.Timeout, not httpx.Timeout).

DeepSeek · New model·Aug 21, 2026

DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp Release

Today, the new multimodal vision understanding model DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp is now available on the DeepSeek API platform. This is an experimental model that can be accessed by setting model='deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp'. * For the Code Agent text tasks in the public benchmark sets, the DeepSeek family models were tested using the DeepSeek Harness minimal mode as the framework, with the max effort level, topp=0.95, and temperature=1.0; in the ApexBench and Agents' Last Exam evaluations, the text model DeepSeek-V4-Flash ignores the multimodal elements within them.

Workspace path resolution against current working directory, compaction event deduplication, and Vertex auth…

Resolves relative workspace paths against the current working directory, prevents duplicate compaction hook dispatches and compaction index inflation, and adds support for Vertex AI gateway authentication overrides.

Anthropic · Claude Code·Aug 20, 2026

Claude Code 2.1.238

Added a keybindingFlavor setting: set it to "readline" to make Ctrl+W in the prompt delete back to the previous whitespace, as in Bash; the default ("classic") is unchanged. Added claude self-hosted-runner --defer-shutdown-max-min : on SIGTERM, keep serving attached sessions, park what is left after that many minutes, then exit.

Anthropic · Claude Code·Aug 20, 2026

Claude Code 2.1.237

Added a built-in "Concise" output style: Claude leads with results and skips preamble and narration, while doing the work just as thoroughly. Select it under Output style in /config.

Anthropic · Claude API·Aug 20, 2026

We've released v1.0 of the Python SDK

The SDK's HTTP layer moves from httpx to httpx2, a maintained, API-compatible fork: build custom http_client, Timeout, and transport objects from httpx2 (the DefaultHttpxClient helpers are unchanged), and call httpx2.alias_httpx() at startup if you rely on tracing or mocking libraries that patch httpx. v1.0 requires Python 3.10 or later and removes long-deprecated surface, including the legacy Text Completions API, the temperature, top_p, and top_k parameters on Messages methods, and the tool runner's client-side compaction_control. On the async client,.with_raw_response results now need await response.parse(), and AnthropicBedrock now raises an error when no AWS region is configured instead of defaulting to us-east-1. The computer use and browser use toolsets (computer_toolset_20260801 and browser_toolset_20260801) are now available on Google Cloud for Claude Fable 5, Claude Mythos 5, Claude Opus 5, Claude Sonnet 5, and Claude Opus 4.8.

Codex and ChatGPT updates

Apple Messages: Use the Apple Messages plugin to read and search Messages chats on your Mac and prepare or send messages. It's available on all plans in the ChatGPT desktop app for macOS. You can use the plugin in ChatGPT Work and Codex. By default, ChatGPT sends messages only after you approve the message and its recipients. Site co-editing: Where Site collaboration is available, owners can invite active members of the same workspace as editors. Editors can read the Site's live database data, update the Site, save versions, and publish changes after the owner publishes the Site for the first time. Owners retain control of the audience, settings, analytics, ownership, version restoration, and editor access. Editable Site URLs: Where URL editing is available, owners can change an existing Site's ChatGPT-hosted address without creating another deployment. The previous address redirects to the new URL. Custom domains are a separate, existing feature and aren't changed by this setting. Computer History in Europe: Computer History is now available in the EEA, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom for ChatGPT Pro, Business, and Enterprise users in the ChatGPT desktop app on macOS. It's off by default and requires Memories. Business and Enterprise administrators must enable access before workspace members can choose to turn it on. Shared thread snapshots: On all Codex plans, share a read-only snapshot of a local Codex thread from the ChatGPT desktop app for macOS. The snapshot doesn't update when the original thread changes. Personal-account links can be opened by anyone with the link; workspace-account links are limited to members of the originating workspace. Codex redacts known secret patterns, but review the shared content because sensitive content may remain. View or revoke links in ChatGPT data controls, under Shared links. Unified pinned threads: Keep the same pinned chats across the ChatGPT desktop app and iOS.

Remote Control, faster project switching, and more

This update introduces Remote Control to drive and monitor agent sessions on your local device from any browser, alongside core performance gains, improved sidebar navigation, and cleaner error recovery.

Anthropic · Claude Code·Aug 19, 2026

Claude Code 2.1.236

Added ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_MODEL environment variable: sets the model new sessions start on, while a /model pick still overrides it and persists across restarts (unlike ANTHROPIC_MODEL). Added notify_when_idle to cross-session SendMessage: ask another Claude Code session on this machine to send one notice when it next goes idle — opt-in, one-shot, no polling (macOS and Linux).

Gemini CLI 0.56.0

Anthropic · Claude API·Aug 19, 2026

The computer use tool is out of beta on the Claude API as the computer_toolset_20260801 toolset: no beta…

Earlier beta versions remain available. Upgrading an existing integration changes the request shape and tool handling; see Migrate from computer_20251124. We've launched the browser use tool (browser_toolset_20260801), a client toolset for driving a browser that your application hosts. Both toolsets are available for Claude Fable 5, Claude Mythos 5, Claude Opus 5, Claude Sonnet 5, and Claude Opus 4.8 on the Claude API. The Files API is out of beta on the Claude API. Agent Skills and the Skills API (/v1/skills) are out of beta on the Claude API. The Admin API user-management endpoints for Claude Enterprise (claude.ai) organizations (members, invites, groups, and custom roles) are out of beta. You can now restrict which sites a Claude Managed Agents agent's web_search and web_fetch tools can reach. Claude Managed Agents sessions that run in a self-hosted sandbox can now attach memory stores. The session viewer in the Claude Console has been redesigned with a timeline minimap, a transcript grouped by model request, and an Inspector panel for session details and cost, raw events, per-tool statistics, mounted resources, and per-thread activity.

GitLab support in Codex cloud (Beta)

GitLab support is available in beta on all ChatGPT plans. Connect a GitLab project to Codex cloud, create an environment for it, start tasks from issues or merge requests with @codex, and request one-off or automatic merge request reviews. The integration runs in Codex cloud. A managed workspace admin can disable the connector. GitLab-triggered activity requires permission to configure the applicable webhook. For GitLab Self-Managed or GitLab Dedicated, a workspace admin must configure the connection, and webhook activity requires GitLab 19.0 or later. Codex cannot complete a review when GitLab omits a collapsed or oversize diff. Learn how to use Codex with GitLab.
