What changed

OpenAI's Codex and Agents SDK stayed at the center of the software-delivery conversation, Anthropic widened its push with Claude Opus 4.7 and Claude Design, AWS advanced governed agent discovery, Azure pushed remote MCP forward, and Google brought subagents into Gemini CLI.

Why it matters

AI infrastructure is converging around model-native workflows, governed discovery, remote tool access, and longer-running execution that can span coding, operations, and adjacent work.

Evidence

Agents Radar's 2026-04-20 weekly and trending digests kept surfacing Codex, the Agents SDK, Claude Opus 4.7, Claude Design, governed registries, remote MCP, and subagent orchestration as the strongest market signals still moving the category.
