Almost all modern AI coding tools have added the Claude Sonnet 4.5
model.
Cursor 1.7
https://cursor.com/changelog/1-7
Responding to Kiro and Github SpecKit, Cursor has redesigned its Planning mode; it now creates descriptions, plans, and task lists before starting.

The terminal finally runs commands in a separate sandbox, and Windows PowerShell interaction has been fixed. The agent can also open a Browser and take screenshots, and has learned to read images from disk. The OS taskbar now shows a list of agents and what they are doing.
Kiro v0.3.0

Kiro has finally replaced separate limits for two modes with unified points that count everywhere, now it works like Windsurf. Sonnet 4.5 has been added, but it's strange that the coefficient is like Sonnet 4, only Auto mode is 1 credit. They still haven't made it possible to drag files or folders into the chat area to reference them as context, only via hashtag.
Codex Github Action
https://github.com/openai/codex-action
OpenAI announced at DevDay[2025] that Codex has exited beta — now stable with enhanced capabilities. There's a Codex Github Action, a built-in widget gallery, and MCP support. A Codex SDK is available for integration.
OpenAI is also transforming ChatGPT into an "operating system" for AI agents. You can now write your own applications and agents inside ChatGPT, connect payments, authorization, and metrics.
Gemini CLI Extensions
https://blog.google/technology/developers/gemini-cli-extensions/
Google has launched a separate website for Gemini CLI https://geminicli.com/ with a documentation section. Extensions for Gemini CLI are a new feature that allows developers to customize and connect various programs, integrating services like Dynatrace, Figma, Stripe, Snyk, and others.
The system is open, allowing anyone to create their own extensions, and Google has already released a set for integration with its products (Google Cloud, Firebase, Flutter).
