claude code's background subagents used to re-read the whole conversation every 30s to refresh the status line. haiku 5.5 now writes it from short notes, ~99% cheaper per update

Background subagents in Claude Code now use less of your usage limit.
A running subagent updates its status line every 30 seconds, and each update used to re-read its whole conversation. Now Haiku 5.5 writes it from short notes instead, so each update costs about 99% less.
gemini's computer use tool is out of preview. the model looks at a screenshot and hands back the next click or keystroke, for browser, mobile or desktop
catch: it only suggests. your code scales its 1000x1000 coordinates to the screen and runs it, playwright in their example
the computer use tool in the gemini api is now generally available
no breaking changes from preview, just production-ready stability for your browser, mobile, and desktop agents
