On 2026-03-19, GitHub outlined Squad, an open-source GitHub Copilot project that initializes a preconfigured AI team inside a repository. The design matters because it packages routing, shared memory, and review separation into a repo-native workflow instead of relying on a separate orchestration stack.
GitHub said on March 20, 2026 that Copilot code review has surpassed 60 million reviews. The company’s March 5 blog says usage is up 10x since launch, now covers more than one in five code reviews on GitHub, and relies on an agentic architecture tuned for higher-signal feedback.
On March 18, 2026, GitHub introduced a long-term-support model policy for Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise, naming GPT-5.3-Codex as the first LTS model. GitHub says the model will remain available through February 4, 2027 and will become Copilot’s base model on May 17, 2026.

GitHub said in a March 17, 2026 X thread that Copilot coding agent now adds model selection, self-review before PRs, built-in code/secret/dependency scanning, custom agents, and cloud-to-CLI handoff. GitHub’s blog frames the upgrade as a smoother delegation workflow for background coding tasks.

GitHub said on February 26, 2026 that Claude by Anthropic and OpenAI Codex are now available as coding agents for Copilot Business and Copilot Pro customers. The release brings multi-agent choice into github.com, GitHub Mobile, and VS Code without requiring an extra subscription.
GitHub said on March 5, 2026 that Copilot code review now runs on an agentic tool-calling architecture and is generally available for Copilot Pro, Pro+, Business, and Enterprise. The update is designed to pull wider repository context into reviews so comments are higher-signal and less noisy.
GitHub Copilot CLI is now generally available, bringing Copilot into the terminal for standard subscribers. GitHub paired the release with broader Copilot changes including next edit suggestions, MCP-enabled agent mode, background agents, and a higher-end Pro+ plan.
Cloudflare says Cloudflare One now links data security controls from endpoints to AI prompts. The update adds browser RDP clipboard controls, richer SaaS operation logging, on-device DLP, and Microsoft 365 Copilot scanning through API CASB.
