GitLab 19.4 Brings New Agentic Automation at a Lower Cost

GitLab shipped version 19.4, extending agentic automation across the developer workflow, with the /goal command in GitLab Duo CLI entering public beta. The /goal command lets a developer delegate an open-ended objective to a governed agent that runs locally and is verified by a separate model at each step, so developers hand off outcomes rather than supervise each task. GitLab also added three hosted open weight models, Kimi K3, MiniMax M3, and GLM 5.3, to Duo Agent Platform, which get up to 4x more calls per GitLab Credit than many comparable frontier models.
