AI Coding & Developer Tools — September 22, 2026

Findings

  1. [1] 2026-09-22 Claude Opus 5.5 is now available in GitHub Copilot

    Claude Opus 5.5, Anthropic’s newest Opus model, is now available in GitHub Copilot. You can use it for agentic coding, long-running agentic tasks, and knowledge work. In early testing, Opus 5.5 resolved tasks comparably to Claude Opus 5 while using significantly fewer steps and tokens. It also quickly recovered from errors in multistep tasks. Claude Opus 5.5 watermarks its text…

  2. [2] 2026-09-22 OpenAI’s GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna now available

    OpenAI’s GPT-6 family is expanding in GitHub Copilot with two additional models: GPT-6 Sol, and GPT-6 Luna. Joining the previously released GPT-6 Astra, these new options let you select the model that best fits your task, whether that’s everyday agentic coding or fast, cost-efficient assistance. GPT-6 Sol: A balanced model for interactive and agentic coding. A strong all-round choice for…

  3. [3] 2026-09-22 Security improvements for SSH

    We’re removing several SSH algorithms, adding a new algorithm, and requiring larger RSA SSH keys to improve security. The changes are as follows: We’re removing the ability to use RSA keys using SHA-1 in SSH (i.e., the ssh-rsa signature type, including ssh-rsa-cert-v01@openssh.com certificates using SHA-1). We’re removing the key exchange mechanism diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256. All new RSA SSH keys uploaded after October…

  4. [4] 2026-09-22 Deprecation notice: All-platform CodeQL bundle

    Starting with CodeQL CLI 2.27.0, the all-platform CodeQL bundle (i.e., codeql-bundle.tar.gz and codeql-bundle.tar.zst), which includes the binaries for all supported platforms up to this release, is marked as deprecated. In mid-March 2027, we will remove the all-platform CodeQL bundle. Download the platform-specific bundle for your supported operating system and architecture instead. Linux ARM64 binaries are available only through platform-specific downloads…

  5. [5] 2026-09-22 Refreshed repository pull requests page generally available

    The new repository pull requests page is now generally available to all GitHub users. Highlights The new page makes it easier to find and act on pull requests in a repository, with new filtering and search options to help you find exactly what you’re looking for: Content assist helps you easily find and apply the correct filters. Advanced search supports…
