The status chip next to a custom domain in Publish and in Workspace > Domains used to say only *Verifying* or *Action needed*. It now tells you why:

• Waiting for your DNS change - the record you added has not reached us

yet. This takes minutes, sometimes up to a day.

• Issuing the certificate - your DNS is right and the HTTPS certificate

is on its way.

• DNS does not point to Playcode yet - the certificate could not be

issued. Fix the records and we retry on our own.

• Active until a date - the certificate renews itself before it expires.

Nothing to do.

The same reading applies to every domain, however it is connected, so two screens never disagree about the same address.

Two fixes for custom domains on Playcode Cloud.

Root domains now go live. A root domain (example.com, not www.example.com) needs one extra verification record at the edge before it can serve over HTTPS. When Playcode runs your DNS - a domain bought here, or one you moved to Playcode nameservers - that record is now added for you the moment you connect, and the edge is asked to check it right away. If your DNS stays at another provider, the connect dialog shows the record beside the routing record, and the assistant lists both.

Connections no longer get lost while you set up DNS. A connection made before a nameserver change had finished could be dropped as abandoned. Playcode now keeps every connection you make, checks it against the edge every few minutes, and restores it automatically while your domain points at Playcode. If a domain never points at Playcode for a week, you get one email and can reconnect any time.

The Domains settings and the assistant's domain status now say what the edge actually serves, not only whether DNS has landed.

In the editor's Preview, a link that opens a file in a new tab - a PDF from your public folder, an image, a download - now opens that file, the same way it does on your published site.

• Before: the new tab showed "The connection has been lost", which made

a correct link look like a bug in your site.

• Now: the file opens. Pages and routes behave exactly as before.
• Direct links to the preview (a bookmark, or a page link opened outside

the editor) now say what they are: the preview only runs inside the Playcode editor. Use Open preview in a new window from the preview toolbar to view your project in its own tab.

Search Workspace > Domains and the list just got a lot longer: 615 new extensions are now searchable and buyable, priced at what the registries actually charge today.

• Recognizable names, not just filler. .xyz, .zip, .yoga,

and .zone are in, alongside hundreds of others spanning tech, business, and lifestyle endings.

• Your originals are untouched. .com, .net, .org, .app,

.dev, and .io stay at the price they have always been - this expansion only adds, it never repriced what you already use.

• A few extensions still ask for more. Some endings - country codes and

a handful of membership-only names - need something extra from their own registry before anyone can register them through us. Search still tells you what is missing instead of a dead end; we are working through that list one registry at a time.

Apple shipped a major Expo Go update this week, which broke the phone preview for mobile projects: scanning the QR code showed an SDK-compatibility error on iPhone. Fixed on both sides - new mobile projects target the Expo version the App Store actually ships, and the AI now checks your project against the current Expo Go before handing you a QR code, upgrading the project first if it is out of date.

The QR code itself also got more reliable: it now always carries the secure exps:// link, so it opens in Expo Go on the first scan.

GPT-6 Astra - OpenAI's most capable model, built for the hardest end-to-end work - is now available on the Ultra tier, next to Claude Fable 5.1. OpenAI launched it yesterday behind a limited-access program; our access opened this morning and it went through our full verification the same hour: live tool-calling, prompt caching, and token accounting all confirmed on the real wire before it reached the picker.

Astra is priced identically to Claude Fable 5.1 ($10 / $50 per million tokens at the provider), and because its tokenizer encodes the same work to roughly a third fewer tokens, the same build tends to cost fewer credits. Claude Fable 5.1 remains the Ultra default.

Background agents (the tasks your AI delegates work to) can now look at images, capture page screenshots, and understand videos, just like the main agent. Visual work delegates reliably: captioning a photo gallery, writing honest alt text, matching a reference design, picking a video poster frame, or reviewing a page's layout no longer fails partway because the helper agent could not see what it was working with.

Available on vision-capable models across all task roles - explorer, coder, auditor, and researcher.

Gemini 3.8 Flash is now the Gemini option on the Pro quality tier. It launched today at the same price as its predecessors, and Google's own launch numbers put it ahead of 3.7 Flash on every published axis - software engineering, terminal coding, and multi-step reasoning. In our own SVG drawing benchmark it is measurably the strongest Gemini Flash yet.

It also costs you fewer credits than 3.6 Flash did. Google discounted this rate card after we first added 3.6 Flash, and our pricing had not caught up, so 3.6 Flash was charging roughly double what it should have. That is corrected: every Gemini Flash model now bills at the real rate.

If you had 3.6 Flash selected on a chat, it keeps working and stays on that chat - nothing you pinned has moved. It is simply no longer offered in the picker for new selections.

The cheap-and-fast tier is unchanged. Gemini 3 Flash is still the default there, and still the cheapest way to build.

Grok 4.6 is now the Grok option on the Pro quality tier, in place of Grok 4.5. xAI prices the two identically and calls 4.6 "the most intelligent and fastest model we've built" - and in our own SVG drawing benchmark the difference is visible: where 4.5 famously spent 668 tokens barely attempting the task, 4.6 actually engages with it.

If you had Grok 4.5 selected on a chat, it keeps working and stays on that chat - nothing you pinned has moved. It is simply no longer offered in the picker for new selections.

GLM 5.3 is now the GLM option on the cheap-and-fast tier, in place of GLM 5.2. Z.ai prices the two identically, and 5.3 is the newer and stronger model - Z.ai's own measurements show it doing markedly better agentic coding work while spending *fewer* output tokens than 5.2 at every reasoning-effort level, which on a reasoning model means the same work tends to cost you less.

It also brings a real reasoning-effort dial (low / high / max), which the Intelligence setting now drives.

If you had GLM 5.2 selected on a chat, it keeps working and stays on that chat - nothing you pinned has moved. It is simply no longer offered in the picker for new selections.
