MATLAB and GNU Octave
Use this skill to design or review numerical code, migrate MATLAB releases, prepare reproducible projects, and plan trusted execution. MATLAB and GNU Octave are distinct products: compatibility is partial, not a license or behavior guarantee.
Product and license gate
- MATLAB R2026a is proprietary. Do not assume MATLAB, MATLAB Online, a named toolbox, MATLAB Test, MATLAB Compiler, MATLAB Coder, Parallel Computing Toolbox, or an add-on is installed, licensed, or available to the user.
- MATLAB Runtime is not MATLAB. It runs compatible applications produced with MATLAB Compiler; it cannot run arbitrary source or host MATLAB Engine for Python. Building artifacts needs the applicable licensed compiler and every product used by the source.
- GNU Octave 11.3.0 is free software under GPLv3+. Octave packages are not MATLAB toolboxes. Similar names do not imply API, numerical, graphics, or licensing equivalence.
- Ask which runtime, release, platform, installed products, and license context
the user actually has. Treat availability as
unknownuntil confirmed.
