Changelog

What's new across GWC for VS Code, Taichu, and the platform.

August 2026

Free-tier agents, team passes, and local models

  • The Basic monthly allowance now funds DeepSeek V4 Flash. Every other model stays available on Basic — paid from your top-up balance, your own API key (BYOK), or by signing in with an AI plan you already have — so the funding source is clear before you send the request rather than at a decline.
  • Background Agents on Basic: 5 running in parallel, on the free tier.
  • GWC Business Connect Pass — $10 per seat per month. Buy passes for a team and assign one to each member, instead of one pass per individual account.
  • Local models: point GWC at Ollama or LM Studio running on your own machine and route chat through it. Included on Standard and above, or on any tier with a Connect Pass.
  • The site now speaks 12 languages. Pick yours from the selector in the footer — English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어, العربية, Español, Français, Deutsch, Italiano, Português and Bahasa Indonesia. On a first visit we follow your browser's preference, and Arabic now renders right-to-left.
  • Fixed: holding a GWC Connect Pass on the Basic tier no longer showed an upgrade prompt on GWC Connect. The pass had always granted access — only the screen disagreed.

July 2026

Safety, roles, and a cleaner core

  • Agent roles now run under least-privilege tool envelopes — reviewing roles structurally cannot modify what they review, and measuring roles cannot alter what they measure.
  • Unattended agent runs execute inside a sandbox instead of the bare host.
  • Studio's local master keys are now bound to the operating system keystore instead of stored as files.
  • Terminal sessions orphaned by a restart are now cleaned up automatically.
  • The Android app now requires Android 7.1.1 or newer — Android 7.0 devices could not establish a secure connection to GWC services.
  • Billing now shows the cloud-routing fee consistently on every surface, and how BYOK avoids it.
  • The observer mode is now a first-class second-terminal workflow: watch an autopilot session, then hand its summary back.

June 2026

Open pricing and more models

  • All chat models are open to every tier — tiers differ by monthly allowance, not by which models you may use.
  • Corporate seats now start from a single seat.
  • GWC Connect Pass: remote control, BYOK, and login-with-your-own-AI-plan as a standalone add-on.
