Microsoft has fitted the June 2026 update to Visual Studio IDE with a GitHub Copilot usage window that gives a clearer view of where a user stands against the GitHub’s new usage-based model. The update also adds trust validation for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. GitHub Copilot usage now is calculated based on token consumption rather than by request, as part of GitHub’s new usage-based billing model, Microsoft said on June 30. The refreshed usage window in Visual Studio gives a clearer view of the stance against that model, with real-time updates as the developer works. This can be opened by selecting Copilot Usage from the Copilot badge menu. GitHub Copilot switched to usage-based billing on June 1. Also with the June update, Visual Studio now validates MCP server trust in two places during startup. Before the MCP server process starts, the current configuration is compared against a previously trusted baseline. After it starts, the fingerprint of its tools, prompts, resourc

In June 2026, Google introduced the Open Knowledge Format (OKF), an open specification for how AI agents organise and exchange knowledge. An OKF bundle is just Markdown files, lightweight YAML metadata, and links between concepts, yet it challenges the assumption that every AI application needs embeddings and vector databases. Because the knowledge base is plain […] The post OKF: Redefining Knowledge Bases for AI Agents appeared first on Analytics Vidhya.
