New features, improvements, and bug fixes at a glance.
Claude Opus 5, GPT-5.6, and Extensible Workflows
Claude Opus 5
Opus 5 is the new leading Anthropic model in Lurus Code. It is designed for highly demanding coding tasks and supports tool calling, vision, adaptive thinking, and prompt caching.
GPT-5.6 Luna, Sol, and Terra
The new GPT-5.6 model family covers fast through highly demanding coding tasks. All three models support tool calling, vision, reasoning, and prompt caching.
Custom agents, skills, and hooks
Lurus Code now loads custom agents, skills, slash commands, and workflow hooks consistently from project-wide and global configurations. Content in nested folders is supported as well.
Remote MCP servers via URL
In addition to local processes, MCP servers can now be connected directly through URLs. Headers and credentials are managed securely, making external tools easier to integrate into workflows.
Tasks remain stable across long sessions
A new Task Ledger preserves confirmed decisions, progress, and verification results across context compaction. Complex tasks can therefore continue more reliably without losing essential context.
Safer permission workflow
Commands and file operations are classified more precisely, and approvals are handled more consistently. The new Exec flow clearly separates direct programs from shell commands and reduces unnecessary prompts.
More token-efficient source views
Large files are loaded through structured views and targeted ranges. This keeps more relevant code in context and makes reading and subsequent edits more reliable in large projects.
Model pricing shown directly
The CLI and VS Code extension now show input, output, and cache prices during model selection, making costs easier to compare before switching models.
Code indexing stabilized
Large folders, previously missing files, and disabled indexing in new projects are handled more reliably. This reduces memory issues and incomplete search results.
Parallel sign-in in terminal and VS Code fixed
Concurrent sessions in the VS Code extension and terminal no longer overwrite their authentication data and remain connected reliably.
Checkout fixed for additional languages
Checkout now carries language and consent text correctly outside the English interface as well.
New Model Generation, Image Editing, and More Stable Agent Execution
New EU-hosted models
The model catalog has been expanded with new EU-hosted and regional models. Aliases, metadata, and backend validation were updated so CLI, subagents, and backend use the same model list.
GPT Image 2 for image editing
Images can now be edited directly through Lurus Code. Backend, slash commands, provider metadata, and the new edit-image tool were extended for GPT Image 2.
Improved web search
Web Search and Web Fetch were hardened with URL safety checks, content limits, and additional tests. Results are now more reliable and safer for agentic workflows.
Dynamic output limits for low balance
When credit is low, Lurus Code reserves tokens more defensively and adjusts output caps dynamically. Chat requests stay more predictable without blocking unnecessary balance.
Cleaner model routing
Open-source/global providers, thinking types, and max-token handling were unified. This reduces provider errors and makes model switching more robust.
More consistent Bash output handling
Long terminal outputs remain easier to inspect and are no longer summarized where full logs are needed for debugging or agent decisions.
Reindexing stabilized
Issues during codebase reindexing have been fixed. The code index refreshes more reliably and stays consistent across agent runs.
Provider details protected
Responses and help text were hardened so internal provider details are not accidentally exposed in user-facing surfaces.
Team Module, Lura Model, and More Robust Context Compaction
Lurus team module
Teams can invite users, manage shared team balance, and use centralized billing flows. Backend, dashboard, email templates, and CLI displays were extended for this.
Lura model integrated
Lura was added as a dedicated model including balance logic, model aliases, dashboard displays, and billing paths.
GPT-5.5 (US)
GPT-5.5 (US) was added to the registry, CLI selection, and fallback chains for powerful coding tasks.
Much more robust context compaction
Compaction now preserves plans and central session artifacts more reliably. Long sessions lose less context and remain easier to steer.
Deeper code analysis for GPT
GPT models receive better analysis guidance for code understanding, semantic search, and subagent tasks.
More cost-aware agent prompts
System prompts and tool guidance were tightened so large tasks run with less unnecessary context and lower cost.
IP geolocation fixed
Checkout and trial flows detect countries more reliably and handle geolocation errors more robustly.
Refresh-token race condition fixed
Multiple parallel refresh attempts no longer cause inconsistent sessions or broken login states.
Redaction warnings improved
The secret scanner no longer shows misleading warnings when output has already been safely redacted.
Orchestrator v2, New Models, and More Stable Long Sessions
Orchestrator v2
The orchestrator can now continue, overwrite, and coordinate plans with subagents more deliberately. This significantly improves complex multi-step tasks.
New Claude and Gemini models
Opus 4.8 was added, Gemini models were refreshed, and outdated Gemini variants were removed.
Long chat histories are easier to use
Orchestrator and review flows handle long histories better and load context more efficiently.
CLI embedding timeout added
Embedding calls in the CLI now fail in a more controlled way when external services do not respond in time.
Trial balance adjusted
The trial period uses more appropriate balance values and displays account and payment states more clearly.
Trial-abuse protection improved
Repeated trial usage through payment data is prevented more reliably.
Checkout and extension build fixed
Issues in the checkout flow and VS Code extension build were resolved.
Chat rendering stabilized
Old Lurus Code chats, Markdown lists, and bullet lists render more consistently again.
Plans and permissions are preserved better
Compaction and vendor-branch detection are less likely to lose plans or permission decisions.
Free Trial, Better VS Code Workflows, and CLI UX
Free trial instead of Starter
The previous Starter entry point was replaced with a free trial. Checkout, emails, dashboard, and subscription logic were aligned with the new flow.
VS Code debug support
The VS Code integration now supports debugging flows better and connects editor context more directly with Lurus Code.
New shortcuts and /paste
New mode shortcuts and the updated /paste command speed up recurring terminal workflows.
Clearer thinking output
Reasoning and thinking blocks render more readably and reliably in the CLI.
Better structured CLI output
Terminal output, status messages, and longer agent responses are organized more clearly.
More CLI test coverage
Additional tests cover chat, slash command, and rendering behavior more reliably.
Session resume and settings persistence hardened
Markdown rendering, session resume, recall loading states, and settings persistence have been stabilized.
Ctrl+C cancellation stabilized
Interrupts now stop running actions more reliably without unnecessarily damaging the full session.
/compact fixed
The compact command works more reliably and preserves important session information more consistently.
Cache, Permission, and Orchestrator Stability
Legal links in emails
Transactional emails now contain consistent links to imprint, privacy policy, and other legal information.
More stable provider system payload
Provider payloads and skill-cache behavior were stabilized so agents start from more consistent conditions.
Permissions without hard wait timeouts
Lurus Code now waits more reliably for user decisions in permission prompts while saving context cost by default.
Prompt cache protected
Micro-compaction was removed because it could break prompt caches. Compaction now runs more deliberately when the context window is actually full.
Unified orchestrator defaults
Orchestration flows now use more consistent provider and context defaults.
OpenAI cache loss prevented
Cache loss caused by changing project-tree context and redirected requests has been fixed.
Mode switching blocked during active runs
Agents can no longer accidentally switch mode, thinking, or effort while a run is active.
Orchestrator rendering and permissions fixed
Orchestrator views render more reliably and are less likely to lose permission decisions.
New Fast Models, Better Caches, and Clearer Ignore Rules
Kimi K2.6 and GLM 5.1 Fast
Kimi K2.6 and GLM 5.1 Fast were added as fast model options.
Long-context threshold pricing
Pricing logic now accounts for long-context thresholds so large context windows are calculated more transparently.
Dashboard service worker
The dashboard received service-worker support for a more robust web-app experience.
.lurusignore and .gitignore clearly separated
.lurusignore is now a hard deny mechanism, while .gitignore can be requested per operation.
Fast-model fallback chains corrected
Fallback chains for fast models were cleaned up and now provide more reliable alternatives.
Model index cleaned up
The model index and model patterns were cleaned up so selection and aliases behave more consistently.
Plans survive compaction more reliably
Plans are less likely to be lost during compaction and remain available across longer sessions.
Prompt cache stabilized across model and mode switches
Prompt caches are no longer invalidated unnecessarily when switching models or modes.
API-key and key-service edge cases fixed
API-key lengths and slow key-service connections no longer lead to broken logout or schema states.
Blocking tools and tool calls fixed
Issues with blocking tools, visible system reminders, and broken tool calls were resolved.
New Model Generation & Global Providers with Zero Data Retention
GPT-5.5 — new OpenAI flagship
GPT-5.5 is now available and replaces GPT-5.4 Pro as the default Powerful OpenAI model. 82.7% on Terminal-Bench 2.0 — new state of the art for agentic coding — with a 1M context window and dramatically better long-context performance (74% MRCR v2 at 512K–1M tokens).
Kimi K2.6 — hosted in Europe
Moonshot AI’s latest flagship (80.2% SWE-Bench Verified, 58.6% SWE-Bench Pro — on par with GPT-5.5). Hosted in Europe with Zero Data Retention guarantees. Open-weight, 256K context, built for long-horizon agentic work.
GLM 5.1 — hosted in Europe
Z.ai’s new flagship (58.4% SWE-Bench Pro, 63.5% Terminal-Bench 2.0) is the first open-source choice for long-horizon coding with up to 8 hours of autonomous execution. Hosted in Europe with Zero Data Retention guarantees. Open-weights model, independently deployable.
New US-hosted global providers with Zero Data Retention
New US-hosted models are available optionally: DeepSeek V4 Pro, Qwen 3.7 Plus, Kimi K2.7 Code, Nemotron 3 Ultra NVFP4, MiniMax M3, and the existing Global Provider models. All accessed through our gateway provider with contractually enforced Zero Data Retention and no-training policy.
Pricing breakdown updated
The model cost page now lists every new model — including Lura, Kimi K2.6, GLM 5.1, DeepSeek V4 Pro EU, and the new Global Provider models — with input, output and cache-read pricing per 1M tokens.
Models page restructured
The AI Models page now clearly separates Lura, regional providers, and global providers with an explicit Zero Data Retention notice. See at a glance which models qualify for regulated workloads.
Smarter Agent Execution & Clearer Billing
Redesigned Ask-Question Experience
The agent's clarifying questions got a full UX overhaul in both CLI and VS Code: cleaner multi-choice layouts, free-text answers, multi-select support and a faster way to skip or abort — so you stay in flow when the agent needs input.
Free Trial Added
Pro, Pro+ and Ultra can now be tried free for one week. The related CLI and VS Code messaging has been aligned accordingly.
Clearer Balance & Quota Messages
Balance-exhausted and low-quota messages are now explicit, actionable, and consistent across CLI and VS Code. When you hit a limit, you immediately see what happened and how to continue — including a one-click upgrade path in the VS Code sidebar.
Smarter Image Context Handling
On long sessions with many screenshots or diagrams, only the most recent images are sent to the model in full; older image blocks are replaced by lightweight placeholders. Result: faster responses, lower token usage, same context awareness.
Stable Request Cancellation
Pressing Ctrl+C (or otherwise cancelling an in-flight request) now cleanly stops just that request instead of tearing down the whole CLI session. Your chat, context and working directory stay intact.
Reliable GPT Reasoning & Tool Streaming
Resolved an issue where GPT models would occasionally stop streaming reasoning or go silent between tool calls. The agent loop now reliably continues and streams status updates throughout long tool chains.
Hardened Agent-Loop Stability
Several edge cases in the agent loop and prompt service have been hardened — fewer stalls, better recovery from provider errors and more predictable behaviour on multi-step tasks.
