The names developers still say. Two names are officially obsolete. Windsurf, which Cognition acquired in 2025, became Devin Desktop on 2 June 2026 and switched off its signature Cascade agent on 1 July in favor of Devin Local. AGY is the command name of Google’s Antigravity CLI, which replaced Gemini CLI for consumer accounts on 18 June 2026.
The $60 billion megadeal. SpaceX, which absorbed xAI in February 2026, agreed on 16 June to acquire Cursor’s parent company, Anysphere, for $60 billion in stock. The deal closed on 14 August, and Cursor’s pricing now tilts toward Grok and Composer models.
The pricing mirage. Headline individual plans have converged at roughly $20, $100 and $200 per month. What that money buys differs widely: the same $20 gets different models, allowances and overage rules in each product.
The AWS enterprise dark horse. Kiro is AWS’s agentic development environment, built around spec-driven development. It has enterprise sign-in through AWS IAM Identity Center, AWS billing, a GovCloud edition, and the most transparent per-model credit pricing of the group.
The stagnant pioneer. Five of the six tools belong to a model lab or a cloud hyperscaler: SpaceXAI, Cognition, Anthropic, Google and Amazon. Aider is the lone independent, open-source tool, and it has not shipped a feature release since August 2025.
The universal Achilles’ heel. Security is the shared weak point of 2026. Prompt injection through repository content, pull requests, issue descriptions and MCP tool metadata produced remote-code-execution and data-exfiltration vulnerabilities in several of these tools this year.
