## In brief

GitHub has released Copilot Fusion within GitHub Copilot, a feature that orchestrates between Anthropic and OpenAI models and scores two points below Opus. CleanCode also debuted a tool that brings Claude Code and Codex together on a single canvas. At the same time, Claude Code was found to consume 15 to 20 percent of tokens on a three‑word status line, and reviewers discovered a race condition in a Linux page cache modified by Claude Code. Finally, five open‑source GitHub repositories are highlighted to address memory issues in AI agents.
