New Tasks from the home composer now start streaming sooner, so pressing Enter gets you from idea to first AI response with less waiting.
Independent Task startup now overlaps more of the safe preparation work and reuses warm runtime capacity more reliably, reducing cold-start gaps without trimming tools, files, MCP, or Skills.
Returning to active and older Tasks is smoother because warm runtime claims, client readiness, and system skill catalog loading are handled more consistently.
AgentCore model routing now selects the right Claude long-context variant and output window for Pro and Max routes, improving stability for large-context work.
More reliable media, links, and artifacts
Instagram Reel, Reddit, Apple Podcast, podcast, and transcript previews now degrade more gracefully when a platform blocks or truncates metadata.
Podcast and knowledge-base audio previews preserve playback metadata more reliably, including cases where transcript text is blank or delayed.
Media preview panels now avoid empty tabs and keep transcript columns at a usable height, making link review cleaner.
Markdown editing and image-generation mode selection are less likely to lose the view or selected generator while you work.
Billing and subscription polish
You can now use annual subscription options and China one-time payment flows where available.
Annual plans now grant credits monthly, making long-running workspace usage easier to track.
Chinese Stripe payment rules and usage settlement are more tolerant, reducing false failures around billing and credit reporting.
