Meet Assistant Workspace: Full-page experience for Grafana Assistant

Introducing Assistant Workspace, a full-page surface for Grafana Assistant, built for the conversations that outgrow a sidebar. Dig into longer investigations, compare data side by side, and keep your train of thought in one place — then turn what you find into a dashboard without starting over. When a quick question becomes a real investigation, open it in Workspace and keep going. In this video, Ed Poole gives us a demo of how to use Workspace, including the use of canvases to see more information than before.

Claude Opus 5 pricing: same sticker, different bill

Claude Opus 5 launched July 24, 2026 at $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens, identical to Opus 4.8. It delivers near Claude Fable 5 performance at half Fable's price and is now the default model on Claude Max. New effort settings let teams trade capability for token savings, which means two teams on identical pricing can now run up very different bills. Finance teams, that last part is your problem. Anthropic has shipped a model that costs exactly what the old one cost.

OpenAI Codex pricing in 2026: plans, token costs, and usage limits

Codex pricing runs six tiers, from free to $200 a month, but the sticker price is not your real bill. OpenAI Codex pricing 2026 charges by the token, not the plan, a change that took effect in April. Plus is $20, Pro starts at $100, and everything past that depends on how many files you let the agent read. Most Codex pricing guides hand you a price list and call it done. That is like pricing a taxi ride by the door handle. The meter is what matters, and OpenAI put a real one on Codex this year.

Smarter onboarding and planning with Grafana Assistant: How to ensure observability is baked in from the start

It's Monday afternoon and that feature you've been working on is mostly done. There's just one item still sitting untouched at the bottom of the ticket: "Add monitoring." You know you should. You also know the sprint ends tomorrow, nobody on the team is an observability expert, and figuring out what to measure—let alone how to write the PromQL for it—feels like a project all on its own. So it gets the same treatment it always does: "We'll add it when it breaks.".

A Beginner's Guide to Choosing Your First Night Vision Setup

Getting into night vision for the first time can feel a bit overwhelming. Between generations, tube types, mounting systems, and price ranges that swing from a few hundred dollars to well into five figures, it's easy to end up paralyzed by choice or, worse, to spend money on something that doesn't actually fit what you need it for in practice once you get it home.

The Ultimate Homeowner's Guide to HVAC Systems

5 Best eBay Listing Template Tools for eBay Sellers

Managing a small number of eBay listings manually may be relatively simple. However, the process becomes more difficult as a seller adds more products. Each listing requires accurate product information, clear images, item specifications, delivery details, return policies and a description that works properly across desktop and mobile devices. Creating every listing from the beginning can consume valuable time. It can also create inconsistencies when product descriptions are prepared by different team members or updated at different times.
