When you send the agent a new instruction while a build task is already running, that instruction now stays in front of the task until it finishes. Before, it was shown to the task exactly once - mid-work, between two steps - and on a long build the task could lose track of it and finish without it, so you had to ask again. Now a mid-build message keeps its place for the rest of the run, for background tasks and regular chats alike.

DeepSeek V4 Pro folds into V4.1 Flash - same answers, lower price
DeepSeek V4 Pro has left the model picker. DeepSeek has been serving every V4 Pro request with V4.1 Flash since mid-September (until a V4.1 Pro exists), so the picker entry no longer bought anything the Flash entry does not - except a higher price.
If you had V4 Pro selected as a default or on a chat, it now runs on DeepSeek V4.1 Flash automatically, billed at the Flash rate: $0.30 in / $1.20 out per million tokens instead of V4 Pro's $1.32 / $3.96. Same upstream model, about 4x cheaper.
We also moved DeepSeek onto redundant serving infrastructure, so the model no longer depends on a single upstream to stay available.
Site names now use hyphens - and old underscore links redirect
Site subdomain names now use hyphens (my-app.playcode.site) instead of underscores. Underscores are not valid in web hostnames, so my_app.playcode.site could never load in a browser - the editor just didn't tell you. Every published site with an underscore name has been renamed to its hyphen twin automatically, old underscore links now redirect permanently to the new address, and your numeric address keeps working as before.
GLM 5.3 Flash: near-frontier AI at our lowest price tier
GLM 5.3 Flash is now in the model picker. It is one of the cheapest models we offer, with reasoning quality close to models many times its price, a 1M-token context window, and image understanding. It thinks before every answer, so it is thorough rather than instant - pick it for budget builds where a little patience is fine.
Signing in with GitHub and Microsoft works again
Since March, signing in with GitHub or Microsoft from the Playcode sign-in or sign-up page brought you back to that page, even though you were already signed in. From September 17 to 28 the same buttons led to an error page instead. Both are fixed: you now land in Playcode.
If you started signing up with your email and never finished, signing in with GitHub or Microsoft now finishes it, as long as that account uses the same email address and GitHub or Microsoft has confirmed it.
The Playcode SDK, the Playcode CLI, and image generation
Your apps and your tools can now talk to Playcode directly - three releases in one day:
@playcode/sdk0.3 (npm) - the official SDK for your app's backend. Zero dependencies, fully typed, works in any Node or edge runtime. Send email, call every management operation, and - new today - generate images:pc.media.image({ prompt })returns a finished image hosted on Playcode, paid per image from your workspace credits. Video generation (pc.media.video()) rides the same way.@playcode/cli(npm) -npm i -g @playcode/cli, thenplaycode loginsigns in through your browser. List projects, read and run things on a project's computer, publish, and reach every management operation asplaycode <family> <operation>- new operations appear in the CLI the moment they exist, no update needed.- An MCP server for your coding agent.
playcode mcpruns a local MCP server over your own sign-in, built for Claude Code, Cursor, and Claude Desktop: your agent discovers Playcode operations by searching, reads the exact argument shapes, and executes - with everything scoped to the permissions you granted at sign-in.
New projects created from today's template get the SDK preinstalled. This is the start of the platform surface - more capabilities land on the same three doors.
Claude Sonnet 5.5 is available
Claude Sonnet 5.5 - Anthropic's newest Sonnet, "the best combination of speed and intelligence" - is now on the Quality chip in the model picker, at the same price as Claude Sonnet 5. Sonnet 5 is superseded; if you had it pinned, your pin keeps working.
App AI prices now match chat prices
AI used inside your hosted apps is now priced per model, exactly like the in-chat prices - one price book everywhere. Most models move to the standard rate; the flagship cards keep their premium pricing unchanged.
Email sign-up works again on our website
For almost two weeks, starting September 16, signing up with email on the Playcode website did not work. Sign-in codes had just become six digits long as part of a round of security hardening, and the code box on our website still accepted only five. The last digit was cut off, so the code could never go through. Sign-up inside the app was not affected.
It's fixed. If you tried to sign up in those days, go back to playcode.io and use the same email. The code works now.
We're sorry. Our automated tests missed this because they still typed an old five-digit test code. They type six digits now, the same as you.
Email: Send to anyone turns on by itself once your domain is verified
One less switch to find. When your app's sending domain verifies, Send to anyone now comes on with it - your app can email customers right away, from your own domain, with one-click unsubscribe on every mail to a non-member. Before, verified-domain projects still had to discover the switch in Settings > Email; every one of them turned it on.
The switch stays where it was, as the off lever: turn it off and it stays off - for every app of the project, including ones created later. Nothing else changes: without a verified domain, delivery still goes only to recipients who confirmed their address, and the daily caps, suppression and unsubscribe protections run exactly as before.
