Microsoft is testing OpenClaw-like AI bots for 365 Copilot

Microsoft is looking into ways it can integrate OpenClaw-style features into 365 Copilot, according to a report from The Information. The test reportedly comes as part of efforts to make its 365 Copilot AI assistant "run autonomously around the clock" while completing tasks on behalf of users. Omar Shahine, Microsoft's corporate vice president, confirmed to The Information that the company is "exploring the potential of technologies like OpenClaw in an enterprise context." OpenClaw is an open-source platform that allows users to create AI-powered agents that run locally on a user's device.

Is Anthropic 'nerfing' Claude? Users increasingly report performance degradation as leaders push back

Is Anthropic 'nerfing' Claude? Users increasingly report performance degradation as leaders push back

A growing number of developers and AI power users are taking to social media to accuse Anthropic of degrading the performance of Claude Opus 4.6 and Claude Code — intentionally or as an outcome of compute limits — arguing that the company’s flagship coding model feels less capable, less reliable and more wasteful with tokens than it did just weeks ago. The complaints have spread quickly on Github, X and Reddit over the past several weeks, with several high-reach posts alleging that Claude has become worse at sustained reasoning, more likely to abandon tasks midway through, and more prone to hallucinations or contradictions. Some users have framed the issue as “AI shrinkflation” — the idea that customers are paying the same price for a weaker product. Others have gone further, suggesting Anthropic may be throttling or otherwise tuning Claude downward during periods of heavy demand. Those claims remain unproven, and Anthropic employees have publicly denied that the company degrades m

Agentic coding at enterprise scale demands spec-driven development

Agentic coding at enterprise scale demands spec-driven development

Presented by AWS Autonomous agents are compressing software delivery timelines from weeks to days. The enterprises that scale agents safely will be the ones that build using spec-driven development. There’s a moment in every technology shift where the early adopters stop being outliers and start being the baseline. We’re at that moment in software development, and most teams don’t realize it yet. A year ago, vibe coding went viral. Non-developers and junior developers discovered they could build beyond their abilities with AI. It lowered the floor. It made prototyping much quicker, but it also introduced a surplus of slop. What the industry then needed was something that raised the ceiling — something that improved code quality and worked the way the most expert developers work. Spec-driven development did that. It laid the foundation for trustworthy autonomous coding agents. Specs are the trust model for autonomous development Most discussions of AI-generated code focus on whether AI

Read OpenAI’s latest internal memo about beating the competition — including Anthropic

OpenAI released a report breaking down how people use ChatGPT and who they are. | Image: The Verge OpenAI's chief revenue officer, Denise Dresser, sent a four-page memo to employees on Sunday about the company's strategic direction, emphasizing the need to lock in users and grow its enterprise business. The memo, which was viewed by The Verge, repeatedly underlines the importance of building a moat around its AI products, to combat how easy it is for users to switch between whichever model is topping the charts on any given day or week. Dresser, who recently took over much of former COO Brad Lightcap's duties as he transitions to a new role focused on special projects, also emphasizes the importance of focusing on enterprise clients.

Your developers are already running AI locally: Why on-device inference is the CISO’s new blind spot

Your developers are already running AI locally: Why on-device inference is the CISO’s new blind spot

For the last 18 months, the CISO playbook for generative AI has been relatively simple: Control the browser. Security teams tightened cloud access security broker (CASB) policies, blocked or monitored traffic to well-known AI endpoints, and routed usage through sanctioned gateways. The operating model was clear: If sensitive data leaves the network for an external API call, we can observe it, log it, and stop it. But that model is starting to break. A quiet hardware shift is pushing large language model (LLM) usage off the network and onto the endpoint. Call it Shadow AI 2.0, or the “bring your own model” (BYOM) era: Employees running capable models locally on laptops, offline, with no API calls and no obvious network signature. The governance conversation is still framed as “data exfiltration to the cloud,” but the more immediate enterprise risk is increasingly “unvetted inference inside the device." When inference happens locally, traditional data loss prevention (DLP) doesn’t see th
