Microsoft Research and UC Berkeley open-source TokenEconomizer, a plugin that cuts Claude Code and Codex costs by 18.4–30.9% on SWE-Bench without changing the agent
Microsoft Research, Microsoft Security and UC Berkeley open-sourced TokenEconomizer on GitHub (Apache 2.0, v0.1.0 released October 26), a plugin for Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot CLI and Pi, with experimental opencode support. It learns from earlier sessions in the same repository: micro-skills remember repo facts, tool pruning drops tool definitions that go unused, and a loop guard nudges an agent that is stuck. The paper reports 18.4–30.9% lower mean cost across five agent and model combinations on 277 SWE-Bench tasks (paper figures).

yetone open-sources Magpie: one menu-bar picker for Claude Code/Codex/Gemini CLI; local gateway translates OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini APIs (~4282★)
yetone/magpie (MIT, since ~2026-09-23) collapses per-agent model config into a menu bar + local gateway at 127.0.0.1:3425/v1 that speaks OpenAI Chat/Responses, Anthropic Messages, and Gemini—streaming, tools, and reasoning translated both ways. Add DeepSeek/Kimi/GLM/OpenRouter/Ollama or Claude/ChatGPT/Copilot logins once; pick models in Codex, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, etc. At ingest: 4282★ / 275 forks; site usemagpie.ai.

Symantec finds a grey-market relay that installs the real Codex and Claude Code CLIs, then turns off sandboxing and routes every request through its own servers
On Oct 29 Symantec's Threat Hunter Team disclosed an unauthorized AI relay seen at about a dozen organizations since early 2026, mostly in mainland China. Users install the genuine Codex or Claude Code CLI via npm, then run a one-line script from the reseller that rewrites ~/.codex/config.toml or ~/.claude/settings.json, points base_url at relay domains, swaps in relay-issued keys, sets the sandbox to danger-full-access and disables telemetry. Symantec says this is not a CLI vulnerability and it has seen no abuse so far.
