WordPress 7.0 Adds a Built-In AI Client and Connectors Screen
WordPress 7.0, codenamed Armstrong, was released on 20 May 2026, about six weeks behind its original schedule. The update adds a provider-agnostic AI Client to core, along with a Connectors screen for storing provider credentials and the JavaScript side of the Abilities API. Editor-facing changes include a command palette, a redesigned dashboard, a font management page, improved revisions, and new blocks. Real-time collaborative editing, the release's intended centerpiece, was pulled twelve days before launch because it was not ready, and the cycle returned to beta. Core ships no AI model or vendor key, and the AI features stay inactive until an administrator saves a provider key.
