# The Log, issue 1: decide, declare, depart > Preview, final on 11 October. Issue 1 of The Log, our week in review. The three biggest things for agent tools in the week of 5 October 2026. OpenAI and Microsoft ship decision models, Sierra and Meta publish the Personal Agent Protocol, and Google moves its coding agents to Antigravity. What each one changes. - Canonical: https://www.anchorterminal.com/blog/the-log/issue-1-decide-declare-depart - Markdown: https://www.anchorterminal.com/blog/the-log/issue-1-decide-declare-depart.md (~1,850 tokens) - Slim: https://www.anchorterminal.com/blog/the-log/issue-1-decide-declare-depart.min.md (~980 tokens, same facts, less prose, for token-sensitive contexts) - JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/blog/the-log/issue-1-decide-declare-depart.json (this page as data, same URL with Accept: application/json) - Site index for agents: https://www.anchorterminal.com/llms.txt (full text: https://www.anchorterminal.com/llms-full.txt) - API: https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/index.json - Updated: 2026-10-10 This is a preview. The week isn't over, and the final version goes up on Sunday 11 October. - 5: decision models launched or updated - 4: dates on Sunsets from Google's Gemini changes - 1: draft standard for agents to say who they work for The week of 5 to 10 October 2026 on Anchor Terminal ## 1. Decide. The big labs ship decision models OpenAI opened its Decisions API in public beta on 6 October, at $0.10 per million input tokens on gpt-6-luna [[1]](#ref-1). [Celeris-1](/tools/celeris-1-decision) launched on 8 October. On 9 October Microsoft put Microsoft-Decision-1 into public preview on Foundry and OpenRouter at $0.042 per million input tokens, post-trained from Qwen3.5-9B [[2]](#ref-2), and Cloudflare added Clef-omni, which takes images, audio and video, and cut Clef-flash to $0.038 [[3]](#ref-3). Nace published the Drex 1.5 weights [[4]](#ref-4). **Impact.** A month ago a decision model was a startup's bet. Now OpenAI, Microsoft, Cloudflare, Perplexity and AWS all have one, so it's a standard part of an agent. The small calls in an agent loop (which tool, is this safe, is it done) no longer need a general model, and they cost cents per million tokens. The other side is that every one of those calls tells the vendor what you were choosing between. I wrote about that in [Decision models are popping up like mushrooms after the rain](/blog/decision-models-everyone-wants-your-decisions). On the site: [the decision model shortlist](/best/decision-models/), [every head-to-head](/compare/decision-models/), and the new listings for [Microsoft-Decision-1](/tools/microsoft-decision-1) and [Drex 1.5](/tools/nace-drex). Microsoft's grades E for now. It's a preview with no licence, retention terms or rate limits published, and that can change fast. ## 2. Declare. Agents get a draft standard for who they work for Sierra announced the Personal Agent Protocol with Meta, Genesys, Instinct, Rocket, Shopify, Stripe and Walmart on 6 October [[5]](#ref-5), and the first draft went up on 9 October [[6]](#ref-6). It's mostly OAuth. A personal agent has an identity a company can check, a user ID that's different at every company, scopes the user grants and can revoke, and an optional step where the agent confirms an action before the company does it. **Impact.** Today a company can't tell your agent from a scraper. If this gets adopted, agents that declare themselves get let in, and agents that don't get blocked. It doesn't cover payments yet, so for now it sits next to [x402](/tools/x402), [AP2](/tools/ap2) and [ACP](/tools/acp) rather than replacing them. More in [the Personal Agent Protocol, read by people who list agent tools](/blog/personal-agent-protocol-first-draft). ## 3. Depart. Google moves its coding agents to Antigravity Google stopped selling new Gemini Code Assist Standard and Enterprise subscriptions on 9 October. Seats can be added and annual plans renewed until 31 January 2027, and monthly plans renew until 31 December 2027 [[7]](#ref-7). The free Google sign-in for Gemini CLI already stopped serving on 18 June [[8]](#ref-8), and Antigravity CLI is the replacement [[9]](#ref-9). **Impact.** If an agent or a script runs Gemini CLI with a Google sign-in, it's been failing since June. It keeps working with a paid Gemini API key. Antigravity CLI is a closed-source binary where Gemini CLI is Apache-2.0, so teams that chose Gemini CLI because they could read the code lose that. We had this one wrong. Our [Gemini CLI](/tools/gemini-cli) listing still described the free tier, and it's corrected now, with all four dates on [Sunsets](/sunsets/) and [Antigravity CLI](/tools/antigravity-cli) listed. ## Also this week - DeepSeek V4 Flash was retired on Novita AI on 9 October, replaced by V4.1 Flash, and DeepInfra redirected three models to newer ones. Each is on [Sunsets](/sunsets/) [[10]](#ref-10). - Hume's TTS and EVI APIs close on 13 November 2026, five weeks from now. [Hume EVI](/tools/hume-evi) lists the alternatives. - New head-to-heads include [Clef against Microsoft-Decision-1](/compare/cloudflare-clef-vs-microsoft-decision-1) and [Microsoft-Decision-1 against OpenAI's Decisions API](/compare/microsoft-decision-1-vs-openai-decisions-api). ## References Read on 10 October 2026.
