I’d like to announce the public beta launch of GitLab Orbit - the Context Graph for the SDLC.
Previously known as the GitLab Knowledge Graph, GitLab Orbit aims to make all of your AI agents better, faster, and cheaper.
More in the 🧵

If you’ve ever had to modernize a system where “just don’t touch it” was the safest strategy ...
At @WeAreDevs in July, I will share my honest take: where AI agents can actually help with legacy modernization, and where human judgment still matters.

The closest thing to magic you can find right now: lower agentic cost, improve outcomes, speed up reasoning - GitLab Orbit.
GitLab Orbit, now in public beta, is the context graph for the entire software lifecycle. about.gitlab.com/blog/introd…
It continuously maps code, work items, pipelines, deployments, and production signals into a single live graph, so agents reason from first-party context instead of fragmented signals.

I expected Duo Agent Platform to beat Cursor, Claude, Copilot and Devin on price with our $0.25/review fixed price, I did not expect us to win all of the above on precision and recall, but check out this site to learn more, including how we rank against all the code review solutions in market. duo-review-bench-6f7260.gitl…
This is the power of repo-side agents, and it’s just the beginning of more powerful, higher quality and lower cost agentic engineering. This is our structural advantage in action.

Anthropic models have been the Duo default since inception and we’re happy to share Opus 4.8 is now available, same day release. about.gitlab.com/blog/claude…
AI coding tools are great at writing code, but shipping it securely is a different problem.
This tutorial shows how Claude Code + GitLab Duo Agent Platform closes the gap, from bug fixes to production, with CI/CD, security scanning, and code review built in.
1️⃣ Fix a bug with Claude Code and let GitLab CI/CD, security scanning, and GitLab Duo Code Review do the rest.
2️⃣ Add GitLab MCP context so Claude works from the context saved within the GitLab issue, and not just local files.
3️⃣ Use a Claude-powered external agent in GitLab Duo Agent Platform to address review feedback directly in the MR.
See how they work together in our blog: about.gitlab.com/blog/claude…

Devs teams: I noticed other providers are hitting walls, @gitlab is happy to serve you. Start free, receive $24/month in free promo AI credits with every Ultimate user, enjoy CLI/IDE/UX access to built in full SDLC agents, Claude and Codex, and your own custom agents, and use your choice of models and model providers so you never get stuck without service.
GitHub has paused new Copilot individual sign-ups and tightened usage limits amid a surge in agentic workflows, signaling rising compute costs for AI coding tools. thenewstack.io/github-copilo…

The bar for platform reliability has never been higher, and recent headlines have reminded us why. One of the unique aspects of @gitlab is the cloud neutral, deploy anywhere approach we offer, including our fast growing GitLab Dedicated option, which provides high scale, isolated infrastructure for customers who don't want to manage their own infrastructure but need their software factory to run at cloud scale. I recently sat down with @EricHulser from @rvtechnologies (the software team behind Rivian and Volkswagen Technologies) who is one of our top dedicated customers. Eric shares how his team thinks about the partnership and the critical nature of their software pipelines. Their dedicated instance is scaled up and out and represents one of the single largest deployments of Gitaly in the world. Thanks, Eric, for the partnership and for sharing what your team is building!

GitLab Duo CLI is now out in public beta.
MCP gives external AI tools a window into your platform.
GitLab Duo CLI gives you an AI agent that lives inside it. Native platform and repo access, purpose-built agents, platform-level security, headless mode for CI/CD.
Works on self-managed and air-gapped too. No cloud dependency.

Or you could just switch to GitLab, because we never train models with your code, *and* you can take back control of your uptime by running GitLab in your cloud of choice, or buy our Dedicated offering with single tenant isolation. about.gitlab.com/switch/
If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately*
Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code.
GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH
