Plus: Copilot leaks .env secrets, a watermark-stripper nears 3,000 stars, two models ship in one day, and Lovable hits $13.3B. - Author: The New Way Zed shipped Delta on Wednesday: a workspace where your team and its AI agents work in one shared place, instead of a chat window bolted onto an editor. Hours later, Anthropic's red team published the other half of that story. A security teardown caught GitHub Copilot sending .env secrets to its servers from files you never touched. A tool that strips AI watermarks neared 3,000 GitHub stars in two days. Grok 4.6 and DeepSeek V4 Pro shipped within hours of each other, and Cursor had Grok running the same day. Lovable raised $400 million at a $13.3 billion valuation. Anthropic's tests put a number on where agent teamwork stands: a 45-agent swarm found 266 bugs on its own, and still needed a human to organize the build. 📌 ****In this issue** • [Zed launches Delta, a multiplayer workspace for coding with agents](https://ai-news.ghost.io/zed-ships-delta-your-team-and-its-agents-in-one-workspace/#zed-launches-delta-a-multiplayer-workspace-built-for-coding-with-agents) • [GitHub Copilot leaks .env secrets through unrelated file edits](https://ai-news.ghost.io/zed-ships-delta-your-team-and-its-agents-in-one-workspace/#github-copilot-leaks-env-secrets-when-you-edit-any-other-file) • [A watermark-stripping tool nears 3,000 GitHub stars in two days](https://ai-news.ghost.io/zed-ships-delta-your-team-and-its-agents-in-one-workspace/#a-watermark-stripping-tool-nears-3000-github-stars-in-two-days) • [Anthropic's red team finds agent swarms hunt bugs well and build badly](https://ai-news.ghost.io/zed-ships-delta-your-team-and-its-agents-in-one-workspace/#anthropics-red-team-tests-agent-swarms-strong-bug-hunters-weak-teammates) • [Grok 4.6 ships and lands in Cursor same day](https://ai-news.ghost.io/zed-ships-delta-your-team-and-its-agents-in-one-workspace/#grok-46-arrives-and-cursor-adds-it-the-same-day) • [DeepSeek quietly ships V4 Pro, warns of a price hike](https://ai-news.ghost.io/zed-ships-delta-your-team-and-its-agents-in-one-workspace/#deepseek-quietly-ships-v4-pro-%E2%80%94-no-launch-post-just-a-pricing-page-listing) • [Lovable raises $400M, doubles valuation to $13.3B](https://ai-news.ghost.io/zed-ships-delta-your-team-and-its-agents-in-one-workspace/#lovable-raises-400m-valuation-doubles-to-133b-for-vibe-coding) --- ## What your coding tools actually see ### Zed launches Delta: a multiplayer workspace built for coding with agents Zed, the code editor team, shipped Delta on Wednesday: a separate application where developers and AI agents share one thread instead of a codebase and a chat window bolted onto it. DeltaDB, Zed's new database, replicates the conversation and the working tree together in real time. A comment on a diff stays anchored to that exact code as it evolves. Any teammate you invite sees the same thread live, whoever's laptop the agent is running on. It works over the git repo you already have — commit and push as usual, and colleagues who never open Delta just see a normal repo. Delta also connects to third-party agent harnesses, starting with Claude Code running in your own terminal. It's invite-only for now; the private beta opened this week.

He planted a fake secret in a `.env` file. Editing it alone triggered no request. Then he typed in an unrelated `pyproject.toml`, and the secret went out anyway, inside that file's payload. Disabling Copilot for `.env` changed nothing; the only real exclusion gate is a Business/Enterprise feature, admin-controlled. [I put GitHub Copilot Behind a MITM Proxy.

The fuel: Anthropic disclosed Monday that new Claude models embed text watermarks, an EU-rules move. Two days later the repo passed 2,900 GitHub stars and the launch post passed 2 million views.

The bug-hunting test: 45 agents sharing a forum, plus an arbiter, found 266 vulnerabilities across 15 open-source projects. Independent agents found 21 on the same code, and 12 of those overlapped the swarm's finds. The team test: swarms building a game for 12 hours produced bad games no matter the org chart. Usable line: point a swarm at search problems; don't hand it the build. **Why this sits next to the lead.** Zed's Delta bets that teams want to watch their agents work in a shared workspace. Anthropic's own red team just published the reason that bet matters: in its tests, agents still don't coordinate like teammates unless a human sets the structure. [Patterns and problems in multiagent systemsWe ran experiments on swarms of Claude agents and found coordination failures, collusion, and sabotage.

On xAI's own chart, that 61 ties GPT-5.6 Sol and sits one point behind Fable 5 Max. Cursor says it "produces stronger first passes on visual and interactive projects" than before.

No blog post; it surfaced on a marketplace listing page. An HN commenter's table ranks it behind Fable 5, ahead of GLM-5.2 and Kimi-K3\. The docs warn of "a significant increase" to pricing, no date given; if you're budgeting on these rates, that warning is the story. **Why these two run together.** Grok 4.6 and DeepSeek V4 Pro shipped within hours of each other Wednesday; one HN commenter asked outright whether the timing was on purpose. Different bets on the same job: xAI ships a coding-tuned model straight into an editor people already use, DeepSeek ships a cheaper general model with no announcement at all.
