Google Gemini to change model access for personal accounts in October 2026

Google will change which Gemini models are available to personal-account users starting in October 2026, according to information from the Gemini app Help Center cited by IT Home and relayed by ChainCatcher. Beginning on Oct. 9, 2026, free personal users on both the web and app versions of Gemini will no longer receive default access to the full Flash model or the Pro model. Their access will be shifted to the smaller, lighter Flash-Lite model. After the change takes effect, non-subscribers will only be able to use Flash-Lite. AI Plus subscribers will retain access to Flash-Lite and Flash, but Pro model access will be removed. Google will send emails to AI Plus subscribers explaining when the change will apply to their accounts. Users on the AI Pro and AI Ultra plans will continue to have access to Flash-Lite, Flash, and Pro.

Claude Code adds a wrap-up allowance so tasks can finish the current step before hitting the wall

Anthropic has changed how Claude Code behaves when users hit its 5-hour usage cap. Instead of cutting off a coding task immediately, the service now activates a feature called Wrap-Up Allowance, which lets Claude finish the step already in progress before stopping. The change addresses one of the most common complaints from developers: interrupted edits that leave repositories in a half-modified state, with function signatures changed, call sites only partly updated, or tests stopped mid-run. The allowance does not add extra usage. Anthropic says the wrap-up budget is carved out of a user’s weekly quota, applies only to the current run, cannot be saved or requested manually, and does not guarantee that the full task will be completed. Pro users can use it once per week, while Max and Team Premium users can access it each time they hit the 5-hour limit as long as weekly quota remains. The feature requires Claude Code version 2.1.277 or later, works in the terminal, IDE plugin, and desktop Code page, and is being rolled out gradually. It does not apply to API key usage, Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud Vertex AI, or the standard Claude chat window.

LONG co-founder says team will keep building the ecosystem and stay focused on RWA pairs

LONG co-founder Nate said the team will continue building the LONG ecosystem and its community for the long term, regardless of changes in personal circumstances, macro conditions, or sharp market swings. He said the project will remain focused on real-world asset, or RWA, trading pairs and will not shift toward short-term narratives or other directions. Nate also described the LONG ecosystem as still being in its early stage. In his view, the industry should not stay confined to zero-sum competition across chains, ecosystems, or asset categories, but should pay more attention to bringing in new use cases and new users. On the product side, he said the team has completed improvements to the new version of the app experience. The updates include fixes related to the wallet and token list, as well as a new LONG PVE filtering function. According to his post, those changes are expected to go live in the near term.
