October 2026 Release Notes

🔍 Result Trace

Result Trace shows you the steps behind each result, so you can understand why you're getting it:

  • See the LLM calls and logical steps behind a result. Open a result to view the steps Brim took to produce it.
  • Understand the why. Follow how Brim arrived at a value, not just the value itself.
  • Fix variables with confidence. When a result isn't what you expected, Result Trace helps you pinpoint what to adjust in your variable instructions.

Learn more in our documentation.

💲 Cost Transparency

Building on last month's token management tools, you can now see what your projects cost in dollars, not only tokens:

  • Admins set model prices. Admins can set prices for each model in Brim to match what your organization pays.
  • Users see costs in dollars. Once prices are set, admins can turn on Cost Transparency so users see costs in dollars alongside token counts.

Learn more in our documentation.

🔌 Brim MCP Beta

Brim MCP lets you create and edit variables directly in Brim from Claude Code or Codex, with no copying and pasting between tools.

Brim MCP is in beta and requires some technical setup, including configuring an MCP connection in Claude Code or Codex. We'd love your feedback as we develop it.
