Claude Code 2.1.131 fixes Windows activation, Mantle auth

Claude Code 2.1.131 is a small but practical CLI release. The main fixes restore VS Code extension activation on Windows by addressing a bundled SDK path issue, and repair Mantle endpoint authentication when the `x-api-key` header is missing. The update also tweaks the CLI surface by adding `claude-empty-` and removing `claude-empty-D` and `claude-mythos-preview`, which suggests ongoing cleanup of model aliases and exposed options.

CodeRabbit’s latest essay says AI coding agents are fast but forgetful, and argues the missing layer is durable, shared policy rather than better prompting. It ties that idea to CodeRabbit Agent for Slack, where team context, conventions, and decisions can persist across sessions.

Trump White House Eyes AI Model Vetting

The Trump administration is reportedly weighing an executive order that would create an AI working group and give the government first access to frontier models before public release. The move would formalize pre-release oversight, but reports say it would not necessarily block launches.

Gemini tests Flash checkpoints, leaks Omni video-gen

The video says Google is A/B testing multiple Gemini Flash checkpoints across the Gemini app, Google AI Studio, and Arena, which signals a coordinated pre-I/O model rollout rather than a quiet backend tweak. It also highlights a leaked Omni UI string that suggests native video generation is being wired into Gemini, expanding it from a text-and-image assistant into a fuller multimodal creation surface.
