Today we're shipping Prism: a new option in the Augment model picker that efficiently routes each turn to the model that fits the work.

On our internal multi-turn coding benchmark, Prism matches the best individual model on quality at 20–30% lower cost per task than frontier models.

Teams sending 10,000 user messages a month can expect to save $20,000 on their token spend, at similar or better quality.

We know that developers and teams have strong preferences for different model families: with Prism, you can stay in the model family you like, at lower cost.
→ Prism (GPT + Kimi) targets GPT 5.5
→ Prism (Claude + Gemini) targets Opus 4.7

Prism's job is to switch only when the expected win from a different model exceeds the cost of the cache eviction.

Augment can do this because we are model agnostic. No single model wins every task, so we give our customers access to all the industry leaders. That's the foundation Prism is built on: a pool of frontier models, with the routing decision made per turn rather than at the start of a session.

Prism is in the picker today: VS Code, JetBrains, CLI (/model), and web.
Billing rolls up under a single Prism line item. The underlying model that handled any given turn isn't surfaced.

Improvements:

- Model Defaults: Default models updated to Claude 4.5/4.6.

- Image Paste: Cmd+V is now accepted as an image paste shortcut in addition to the existing binding.

- Shell Support: Shell tools now support `sh`, and the TUI uses your configured shell for async commands.

- Billing Summary: Account display now shows a billing summary with credits and cost breakdown including sub-agent rollup.

- MCP Environment Variables: MCP servers support environment variable expansion and working directory injection.

- Indexing Visibility: Improved status visibility when codebase indexing gets stuck.

- Session List Pagination: Large session lists are now paginated to avoid timeouts.

Bug Fixes:

- Fixed ESC key behavior in Enhance mode and slash command menus no longer interrupting the agent.

- Fixed image attachments not passing through the TUI message queue.

- Fixed tool-call blocks disappearing in cloud-connect TUI history.

We’ve switched Augment’s default model to Opus 4.7. And it’s now 50% off until April 30th. Try it in Intent, the Auggie CLI, or our IDE extensions. Existing threads won’t change unless you switch models!

Built for async workflows, CI/CD, and automation

Most models can generate code quickly. But in real workflows, things break down - plans drift, tool state gets lost, and work restarts halfway through.

In our testing, Opus 4.7 is noticeably better at staying on plan over longer horizons, adapting to changes, and finishing with verification instead of restarting mid-run.

The result:

• fewer tool-state failures
• fewer “re-derive the approach” turns
• more reliable execution in CI/CD and long-running tasks

It’s also a strong everyday model, with a more opinionated default—more likely to challenge assumptions and suggest better approaches.

You’ll see the biggest impact in Intent workflows, where agents execute work end-to-end. Opus 4.7 is 50% off until April 30.

New Features:
- Image Support: The view tool now supports displaying image files (PNG, JPG, GIF, WEBP).
- Context Stats: Added `auggie context stats` command to display context and token usage information.
- JSON Output: `auggie account status` now supports a `--json` flag for machine-readable output.
- Terminal Title Control: Added option to prevent the CLI from updating the terminal title.

Improvements:
- Upgrade Handling: `auggie upgrade` now correctly handles non-global npm installations.
- Conversation Memory: Improved memory calculation to account for full agent state.

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed OAuth secrets not being cleaned up when an MCP server is removed.
- Fixed duplicate MCP servers appearing in `/mcp list`.
- Fixed TUI display glitches when resizing the terminal window.
