GitHub Copilot code review expands support to bot‑authored and very large pull requests.

An AI tool‑updates roundup on August 28 reports that Copilot’s code review feature now handles two PR types that were previously excluded: reviews automatically requested on pull requests authored by bots (including Copilot’s own cloud agent) and very large pull requests. This change broadens Copilot’s applicability to more real‑world repository workflows, especially in organizations relying heavily on automation and monorepo or bulk‑change PRs.

Midjourney launches V8.2 image‑editing model for public testing, adding multi‑image reference and canvas expansion.

Midjourney officially announced its first V8.2 image‑editing model for public testing, targeting a broad user base of creators. Coverage notes that V8.2 supports instruction‑based local edits, mixing up to four reference images for image‑to‑image generation, and seamless canvas expansion, with improved handling of complex natural‑language edit commands. This update significantly expands Midjourney’s capabilities beyond pure text‑to‑image into more granular editing workflows.

Claude Developer Platform updates skills model and adds personal and service‑account keys.

Release notes dated August 27 describe changes to how the Developer Platform handles files and skills: beta and non‑beta skill “shapes” are aligned, BetaSkill is renamed to BetaContainerSkill, and skill deletion behavior is adjusted to better match workspace expectations. The same update introduces personal keys and service‑account keys within the Claude Console, enabling more fine‑grained, workspace‑scoped access control and clearer account‑level tracking for teams building on Claude.

Anthropic unifies Claude’s memory across chat and Cowork, with user‑visible controls.

Anthropic announced a major update that merges Claude’s memory between regular chat and the Claude Cowork agent, so preferences, project context, and client details remembered in chat are now available to Cowork tasks, and vice versa. Users can see what Claude has stored by topic, edit or delete items, and opt in to including *sensitive* topics; memory is enabled by default for Free, Pro, and Max plans, while Team and Enterprise get it disabled by default with workspace‑level controls. Anthropic emphasizes that health, race, religion, and political or gender identity are not stored by default unless the user explicitly enables sensitive memory.
