AI Coding Tools Weekly: Composer 2.5 on Kimi K2.5, Copilot's LTS model, Google goes closed-source

This week's digest covers 12 tools and 27 confirmed events: Cursor's Composer 2.5 (built on open-source Kimi K2.5, ~10× cheaper than Opus 4.7 at comparable benchmarks) leads alongside a Gartner MQ Leader designation and Automations/Jira integrations. GitHub Copilot installs GPT-5.3-Codex as its first LTS model, ships Gemini 3.5 Flash GA, trims its Web Chat model menu ahead of June 1 billing, and open-sources the Eclipse plugin under MIT. Google's Antigravity 2.0 at I/O introduces a closed-source CLI replacing the open-source Gemini CLI — shutdown deadline June 18. Claude Code ships pinned background sessions, renames /simplify to /code-review (breaking), removes the legacy SDK (breaking), and demonstrates the Dreaming self-learning feature. Codex CLI v0.133.0 graduates Goals to GA. Devin adds Windows VM support and Auto-Triage; Replit Enterprise goes self-serve. Aider confirmed stalled at 9+ months.
