[Cursor's cloud agents](/release/rel_Z48HZJ7K3LYD3_8oqBYMj-development-environments-for-cloud-agents) can now be configured with full development environments — cloned repos, installed dependencies, credentials, and build tooling — making it practical to run parallel agents across a fleet. Cursor also [added a new full-screen tab mode](/release/rel_T9JQ7UI6usAaYrKnI2Z2B-full-screen-tabs-and-compact-chats) that maximizes the right panel for focused work on files, changes, or PRs, with a floating prompt bar replacing the agent chat when expanded. [Claude Code v2.1.139](/release/rel_nJ36fL0hZgEhwRqUtBU50-claude-code-v2-1-139-adds-agent-view-and-goal-completion-mode) introduced an agent view (`claude agents`) that surfaces every running, blocked, or completed session in a single list, plus a `/goal` command that sets a completion condition so Claude keeps working across multiple turns until the target is met, with live token and turn counters. Subsequent patches hardened the experience: [v2.1.140](/release/rel_CS0EU1boaRWGPYRSCfiNp-claude-code-v2-1-140-fixes-goal-hanging-and-background-service-startup-issues) fixed `/goal` hanging under certain hook configurations and background service startup failures, [v2.1.141](/release/rel_MzbAaWLcgqFaUq0NdcU6h-claude-code-v2-1-141-fixes-permission-prompt-dismissal-and-background-agent) fixed permission-prompt dismissal bugs and background job state management, and [v2.1.143](/release/rel_bEs_c7MuPoHThPNxqKol--claude-code-v2-1-143-enforces-plugin-dependencies-and-hardens-background-session) added plugin dependency enforcement so you can't accidentally disable a plugin another plugin depends on. ### Opus 4.7 fast mode and model upgrades Anthropic's Opus 4.7 arrived in fast mode across multiple platforms. [Claude Code v2.1.142](/release/rel_d153xRBgrvn1wOzlzgo-A-claude-code-v2-1-142-upgrades-fast-mode-to-opus-4-7-and-fixes-mcp-tool-timeout) made it the default for fast mode (replacing Opus 4.6, with an environment variable to pin back if needed) and fixed MCP tool timeout propagation. [Windsurf](/release/rel_oQo6r21at8lrh3l1gg_a7-opus-4-7-fast-mode-is-now-available-in-windsurf) also made Opus 4.7 fast mode available, promising ~2.5x higher output speeds with full intelligence. The speed-ups matter most for long-running agent tasks where per-token latency compounds — exactly the workflows these tools are targeting. ### Codex gets a richer TUI and mobile reach [Codex CLI 0.131.0](/release/rel_neDfqy_tN8NjcFg2uOmn8-codex-cli-0-131-0-adds-richer-tui-controls-remote-daemon-workflows-and-python) was the week's most feature-dense release: a reworked TUI with data-driven commands, blended token usage displays, and responsive Markdown tables; remote daemon workflows with registry-backed environments; a Python SDK moved to `openai-codex`; and a unified @-mention picker that searches files, directories, plugins, and skills. [iOS notification support](/release/rel_Fz0abPYO0oVtr94_1v4YO-codex-adds-ios-notification-support-for-completed-tasks) lets you open completed Codex tasks directly from notifications and review changed files. [New documentation](/release/rel_HrppzJ9-TER4fqgK99msb-codex-adds-mobile-documentation-for-chatgpt-app-setup-and-troubleshooting) covers ChatGPT mobile app setup, and [Amazon Bedrock guidance](/release/rel_lLcnKehNhKW8QNlhGvtLL-codex-adds-amazon-bedrock-setup-guidance-for-aws-managed-deployment) arrived for teams wanting AWS-managed deployment. ### Smaller but notable [Cursor's Composer 2.5](/release/rel_ggqTwImjmn1BrpClbffOW-composer-2-5) ships with improved long-running task behavior and instruction following. [Grok Build 0.1.209](/release/rel_2mXEoZDw-En7CgdLRrCCP-grok-build-0-1-209) and [0.1.210](/release/rel__FvSrK3InjTABHrssQw29-grok-build-0-1-210) fixed Windows rendering, keyboard layout issues, and added plan-mode polish. [Devin](/release/rel_m7_HrSYcYEtZl4brNB9p9-may-17-2026) added collapsible session folders and archive-all, while [Devin's earlier release](/release/rel_Gk2ovh7v5-9L61hiJ6UZx-may-13-2026) added snapshot build deletion and multiline MCP environment variables. [Cursor in Microsoft Teams](/release/rel_JBYmHDK3GZxAR6jDdBl_Y-cursor-in-microsoft-teams) lets you delegate tasks to cloud agents by mentioning @Cursor in any channel. ## Releases covered ### Anthropic - [Claude Code v2.1.139 adds agent view and goal-completion mode](https://releases.sh/release/rel_nJ36fL0hZgEhwRqUtBU50-agent-view-lists-all-sessions-goal-keeps-claude-working-until-done) - [Claude Code v2.1.140 fixes /goal hanging and background service startup issues](https://releases.sh/release/rel_CS0EU1boaRWGPYRSCfiNp-goal-no-longer-hangs-with-disabled-hooks-background-startup-hardened) - [Claude Code v2.1.141 fixes permission prompt dismissal and background agent state management](https://releases.sh/release/rel_MzbAaWLcgqFaUq0NdcU6h-permission-prompts-auto-dismiss-on-mode-switch-background-agents-move-to) - [Claude Code v2.1.143 enforces plugin dependencies and hardens background session state](https://releases.sh/release/rel_bEs_c7MuPoHThPNxqKol--plugin-dependency-enforcement-background-sessions-preserve-model-settings) - [Claude Code v2.1.142 upgrades fast mode to Opus 4.7 and fixes MCP tool timeout](https://releases.sh/release/rel_d153xRBgrvn1wOzlzgo-A-fast-mode-upgraded-to-opus-4-7-mcp-tool-timeout-fixed) ### Cognition - [May 17, 2026](https://releases.sh/release/rel_m7_HrSYcYEtZl4brNB9p9-may-17-2026) - [May 13, 2026](https://releases.sh/release/rel_Gk2ovh7v5-9L61hiJ6UZx-may-13-2026) ### Cursor - [Development environments for cloud agents](https://releases.sh/release/rel_Z48HZJ7K3LYD3_8oqBYMj-development-environments-for-cloud-agents) - [Full-screen Tabs and Compact Chats](https://releases.sh/release/rel_T9JQ7UI6usAaYrKnI2Z2B-full-screen-tabs-and-compact-chats) - [Composer 2.5](https://releases.sh/release/rel_ggqTwImjmn1BrpClbffOW-composer-2-5) - [Cursor in Microsoft Teams](https://releases.sh/release/rel_JBYmHDK3GZxAR6jDdBl_Y-cursor-in-microsoft-teams) ### OpenAI - [Codex CLI 0.131.0 adds richer TUI controls, remote daemon workflows, and Python SDK move](https://releases.sh/release/rel_neDfqy_tN8NjcFg2uOmn8-tui-gains-session-controls-remote-workflows-support-daemon-management-python-sdk) - [Codex adds iOS notification support for completed tasks](https://releases.sh/release/rel_Fz0abPYO0oVtr94_1v4YO-ios-notifications-now-open-completed-tasks-directly) - [Codex adds mobile documentation for ChatGPT app setup and troubleshooting](https://releases.sh/release/rel_HrppzJ9-TER4fqgK99msb-mobile-documentation-for-chatgpt-app-integration) - [Codex adds Amazon Bedrock setup guidance for AWS-managed deployment](https://releases.sh/release/rel_lLcnKehNhKW8QNlhGvtLL-amazon-bedrock-setup-guide-published) ### Windsurf - [Opus 4.7 (fast mode) is now available in Windsurf](https://releases.sh/release/rel_oQo6r21at8lrh3l1gg_a7-opus-4-7-fast-mode-is-now-available-in-windsurf) ### xAI - [Grok Build 0.1.209](https://releases.sh/release/rel_2mXEoZDw-En7CgdLRrCCP-grok-build-0-1-209) - [Grok Build 0.1.210](https://releases.sh/release/rel__FvSrK3InjTABHrssQw29-grok-build-0-1-210)
