Claude Code Chat mode adds plugin support

Developer Daniel Avila announced that Claude Code's Chat mode now officially supports plugins, allowing users to natively extend their terminal AI assistant with custom capabilities. Created in collaboration with Anthropic team members, the update signals a shift towards a modular, community-driven ecosystem.

// ANALYSIS

This update marks a crucial transition for Claude Code from a rigid CLI tool into a customizable, open platform for developer tools.

* Integrating plugins into Chat mode enables highly specialized, developer-defined workflows directly within the terminal interface.

* Leveraging community-built plugins will vastly accelerate the tool's utility, mirroring the successful plugin models of VS Code and other IDEs.

* Direct collaboration between external developers and key Anthropic engineers highlights a highly responsive development loop.

Google launches new agent developer tools for the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform at I/O 2026, featuring Antigravity 2.0, Managed Agents API, and Agent Studio to streamline secure, production-ready AI agent deployments.

At Google I/O 2026, Google introduced a powerful suite of developer tools for the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform to simplify the process of building, testing, and deploying autonomous enterprise AI agents. The new suite accommodates both low-code and code-first workflows: Agent Studio provides a visual workspace for non-technical teams, while the Agent Development Kit (ADK) 2.0 and Antigravity 2.0 (formerly the Gemini CLI) offer code-first developer environments for complex, multi-agent systems. Crucially, the new Managed Agents API allows developers to launch fully sandboxed, secure, Google-hosted agents with a single API call, resolving key infrastructure and security issues for production deployments. Integrated with Gemini 3.5 Flash and the open Model Context Protocol (MCP), these tools bridge the gap between local prototyping and secure cloud deployment.
