  • Ollama BYOK lands in JetBrains

    Copilot for JetBrains now accepts Ollama as a bring-your-own-key provider, so you can select a local model in the picker and keep code on your own machine. It is live in the latest plugin build — a real path to running open weights inside the IDE without a cloud round-trip.

  • Memory that survives the session

    Copilot memory now retains and recalls project details across agent chat sessions, so you stop re-pasting your stack and conventions every conversation. Toggle it on or off in Copilot settings.

  • See every token you're billed for

    The usage report now itemizes input, output, cache-read and cache-write tokens per model next to the AI credits each one burned — for Business and Enterprise admins and every Individual user. Download it from the AI usage page to trace exactly where your credits go.

  • MAI-Code-1-Flash retires Sept 10

    The original MAI-Code-1-Flash shuts down September 10; move workflows and integrations to the newly-GA MAI-Code-1.1-Flash first. Enterprise admins must enable the replacement in policy settings before the cutoff.

  • Elsewhere: Vercel puts a paper trail on tokens

    Vercel's Connect Observability shipped the same day with line-level visibility into the token lifecycle, plus filtering and log-drain forwarding — another sign tooling is moving from 'trust the credit meter' to per-token accounting.
