# GitHub Copilot weekly releases — August 10

From new models and portable plugins to smoother agent workflows, this week’s updates make GitHub Copilot more flexible across editors, the command line, and the Copilot app.

[GitHub Copilot, general](#github-copilot-general)

- Kimi K3 is rolling out to Copilot Pro, Pro+, Max, Business, and Enterprise plans.
- MAI-Code-1.1-Flash is rolling out in GitHub Copilot with native image understanding and improvements to coding quality, instruction following, tool use, and performance.
- Build a plugin once and use it across compatible agent tools with Agent Plugins 1.0, now generally available in VS Code, Copilot CLI, the GitHub Copilot SDK, and the GitHub Copilot app.

[GitHub Copilot app](#github-copilot-app)

- Installed plugins are now easier to manage. See each plugin’s current version, update plugins individually, or update them all at once from
**Customize** or**Settings**. - Talk through an agent’s question before answering by opening it in a side chat while the original question waits for your response.

Try the [Copilot app](https://github.com/features/ai/github-app?utm_source=changelog-to-ghcp-week-aug-12&utm_medium=changelog&utm_campaign=weekly-moments-pmm-ghcp-cli-aug-2026).

[GitHub Copilot CLI](#github-copilot-cli)

- Manage all your subagents and their tasks in
`/tasks`

. - Queue prompts, shell commands, and supported slash commands while an agent turn is running.
- Combine
`--plan`

and`--mode autopilot`

in headless mode (`-p`

) to have the agent produce a plan and then implement it. - Use
`/rewind`

to restore Copilot changes without requiring git or discarding user edits. `/app`

command now preserves session and folder context when opening the Copilot app.

Install the [Copilot CLI](https://github.com/features/copilot/cli?utm_source=changelog-to-cli-week-aug-12&utm_medium=changelog&utm_campaign=weekly-moments-pmm-ghcp-cli-aug-2026).

[GitHub Copilot for JetBrains](#github-copilot-for-jetbrains)

- Keep useful context across agent chat sessions with Copilot memory, so you don’t have to repeat the same project details or preferences.
- Use local Ollama models in JetBrains with new support for Ollama as a BYOK (bring your own key) provider.

[VS Code 1.133 Release updates](#vs-code-1-133-release-updates)

- Switch models without leaving your Claude session by choosing between Claude BYOK and built-in Copilot models for each new turn.
- Stay oriented in long chats by keeping the relevant prompt pinned as you scroll.
- See HTML changes immediately without manually refreshing the integrated browser.
