The router offers three modes: Intelligence (Fable 5-comparable quality), Balance (strong everyday performance), and Cost (token savings). Available for Teams and Enterprise plans.
Google released Gemini 3.6 Flash with improved coding (+12pp on DeepSWE), the ultra-fast 3.5 Flash-Lite (350 tokens/s), and security-specialized 3.5 Flash Cyber — but the long-awaited 3.5 Pro is still absent.
Linear launched Loops — recurring AI automations triggered by schedule or events. The model uses full workspace context and connected tools to triage issues, analyze root causes, and dispatch to coding agents.
Perplexity Computer gains Brain — a private context graph built across sessions that boosted answer accuracy by 25%. New features include website publishing and full Microsoft 365 integration.
Cursor released major Slack integration improvements on July 17, 2026. Cursor now shares a detailed plan before starting any task, supports named multi-repo environments (frontend + backend + shared code in separate repos), and can read from and post back to other Slack channels mid-task.
Google made gemini-omni-flash-preview available in Google AI Studio and the Gemini API — a natively multimodal video API priced at $0.10/sec of output with automatic SynthID watermarking. Also launched Nano Banana 2 Lite — Google's fastest and cheapest image model.

Cursor 3.11 introduces Side Chats for running parallel agent conversations alongside the main thread without interruption, full-text search across all past agent transcripts, and simplified project/repo picker.
The Gemini app gained Study Notebooks: a space to upload syllabi and notes, where Gemini diagnoses your knowledge level, creates adaptive lessons, and tracks progress across 100+ learning objectives. Launching on web for personal accounts.
Google significantly upgraded Gemini 3 Deep Think with iterative reasoning rounds for complex scientific problems. The model identified a logical flaw in a technical math paper missed by peer review. Available for Google AI Ultra subscribers.
Gemini CLI version 0.50.0 (July 8) introduces Tool Registry Discovery — automatic discovery and registration of external tools for AI agents.
Perplexity expanded the Sonar API with access to GPT-5.6 and Grok 4.5 models and added a new finance_search tool for real-time financial data.
Google, alongside the Gemini Spark expansion to the AI Pro tier (July 24), rolled out key improvements: the agent is 50% faster via parallel source retrieval and can now edit shared Workspace files.
