GitHub Copilot CLI Plugins Enter Public Preview
©GitHub Changelog

GitHub has launched a public preview for enterprise-managed plugins in its Copilot CLI, enabling administrators to configure and distribute plugins across their organizations. This feature allows enterprises to set baseline standards and governance strategies, with plugins supporting various extensibility types and automatic installation. The update aims to improve developer onboarding and reduce setup time by sharing custom agents and skills broadly. Enterprises can define plugin marketplaces in a settings.json file, which Copilot CLI automatically applies for users licensed through Copilot Business or Enterprise.

Claude Code v2.1.316: Subagents and Gateway Budgets

Anthropic is tightening control over Claude Code's autonomous behavior with new environment variables that let you disable 'ultrathink' or cap subagent effort levels. For teams, the introduction of pooled group budgets on the gateway allows shared monthly spending limits across members, a practical fix for enterprise cost management. The release also patches critical bugs where shell commands would hang or crash on exit, stabilizing the developer experience significantly.

llama.cpp b12022 adds ROCm 10 and Snapdragon support

This release quietly cements llama.cpp as the universal inference runtime by finally bringing ROCm 10.0 to Linux and Windows alongside CUDA 13.4, effectively closing the hardware gap for AMD users who were previously left behind. The inclusion of native Snapdragon support on Linux marks a significant step toward running local LLMs on ARM-based mobile chips without emulation overhead. While KleidiAI on Apple Silicon is disabled in this build, the broader expansion to diverse accelerators ensures that developers aren't locked into NVIDIA ecosystems anymore.

llama.cpp b12023 fixes shared prefix bug

This release addresses a specific inference artifact where decision prefixes were incorrectly bleeding into output embeddings. By capping shared prefixes at the first output position, llama.cpp ensures that option tokens remain distinct for parent and child tasks. This is a targeted fix for multi-step reasoning or voting workflows rather than a performance boost. It stabilizes complex generation patterns without changing the underlying model architecture.
