Pondero Brief: Copilot code review now defaults to Balanced, which burns more credits

Pondero Brief - OCTOBER 4TH, 2026

Lite is one setting away, and the repo level wins. Plus: Copilot workflows you rerun.
pondero. BRIEF · OCT 4

Copilot code review just got more expensive by default

GitHub's new API support ships alongside a quiet switch to a costlier review tier

Per GitHub's October 2 changelog, every repo and org that never explicitly chose Lite has run Copilot code review on the pricier Balanced tier since September 28. Repo settings beat org settings beat enterprise settings, so the fix is one click away: see the override hierarchy.

Also in today's brief

  • Copilot can now rerun the same multi-agent process
  • Anthropic is training Claude specialists inside big consultancies
  • Legato's hearing glasses bet privacy over cameras
 
Tools & How-To
GitHub Copilot dynamic workflows illustration

Copilot can now run the same multi-agent process every time.

Per GitHub's October 1 changelog, dynamic workflows (public preview) let you write a multi-agent process in code and run it from Copilot CLI, the Copilot app, or the SDK. Reach for /fleet when you want Copilot to improvise the split; write a workflow when run ten has to match run one and someone will audit the steps. Preview means the API can still shift, so keep the first one small. Read our take or try Copilot.

 
Quick Hits
• Anthropic is training its Claude specialists inside the big consultancies first. Claude Frontier Academy puts $100 million behind certifying 10,000 "Frontier Deployed Engineers" by the end of 2027, per Anthropic's October 2 announcement, with the first nomination-only cohorts sitting inside Accenture, Bain, Deloitte, and McKinsey.

• Legato's $999 hearing glasses sell privacy as the feature. Open-ear AI hearing glasses with on-device voice isolation and no camera or recording, per TechCrunch; Legato's own figure claims a dual-speaker system cuts leaked sound 99% a few inches away. Details →
