Android Dev Summit: Android CLI ships as official Claude Code and Codex plugin; bring-your-own-agent goes stable

Google's Android tooling update makes the Android CLI an installable plugin for Claude Code, Codex and Antigravity, giving agents commands for Compose previews without an emulator, remote real devices, profiling and Play-style bundle analysis. Android Studio Rabbit 2 also makes its Agent Client Protocol support stable, so 40+ third-party coding agents can run inside the IDE.

Why it matters

Android teams can use their preferred coding agent with first-party device, preview and profiling tools; Google reports 77% faster UI tasks with fewer tokens.

GitHub makes Copilot Fusion multi-model routing generally available at Universe 2026

At GitHub Universe, Copilot Fusion left research preview and became available on every Copilot plan. Picking Fusion in the model picker hands each prompt to a router that decides which models to call and how to combine them, with Standard, High and Max effort levels. GitHub says Fusion Max lands near top single models on a coding-agent index at roughly half the cost.

Why it matters: Teams can stop hand-picking models per task; admins still control which models Fusion may route to, and billing stays per underlying model.

How to try it

Copilot Fusion is a routing system you select instead of a single model; it works in VS Code, the GitHub Copilot app, Copilot CLI and JetBrains IDEs on all Copilot plans, billed at each routed model's rate.

  1. Update VS Code (1.144+), the GitHub Copilot app, Copilot CLI or your JetBrains Copilot plugin.
  2. Open the Copilot model picker and select Fusion.
  3. Choose an effort level: Standard, High or Max.
  4. Org admins: set which models Fusion may use via enterprise/organization model policies, and optionally make Fusion the default via enterprise managed settings.

Ex-GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke launches Entire, a Git forge that swaps pull requests for agent-scored Trails

Entire is Git-compatible hosting for teams where agents write much of the code. Its Trails view replaces the pull request with custom evals that review agents score on every push, shown beside the original request and agent session history, and it keeps sessions as searchable memory. Private repos only for now; it is free apart from review-agent tokens, with a $100 starter credit.

Why it matters: A concrete attempt to redesign code review for agent-written changes instead of line-by-line diff reading.

GitHub's Teams app now lets Copilot turn notification threads into pull requests

GitHub folded Copilot into its Microsoft Teams notifications app. Replying to a repo notification with @GitHub can send Copilot's cloud agent to investigate, fix and open a PR. It requires a paid Copilot plan with the cloud agent enabled, and the old Teams app retires on November 16.

Why it matters: Brings the Copilot cloud agent into the chat tool many enterprise teams use for triage; plan the app migration.
