Microsoft is piloting OpenClaw‑inspired AI agents inside its Copilot suite, aiming to give the productivity assistant an always‑on, autonomous mode. Corporate vice president Omar Shahine confirmed the company is exploring the technology for enterprise use, with prototypes that could monitor Outlook, suggest daily tasks and operate within role‑specific limits. The trial is slated to be demonstrated at the Build conference starting June 2, after a report by The Information on April 13. Microsoft says the approach could address security concerns while recapturing customers lost to rival AI services. Read more →

Microsoft is testing a new AI agent that mimics the open‑source OpenClaw tool but runs within its Microsoft 365 Copilot suite. The company says the feature, aimed at enterprise customers, will offer tighter security controls and operate continuously to handle multistep tasks. While the agent could run on local hardware, Microsoft has not confirmed its deployment model. The firm plans to showcase the technology at its Build conference in June, following a series of recent Copilot‑related launches. Read more →

Anthropic announced the limited release of Claude Mythos Preview, an AI model that can autonomously discover software flaws and generate working exploits. The company has placed the model in the hands of a select group of tech giants—including Microsoft, Apple, Google, and the Linux Foundation—through a consortium called Project Glasswing. Security experts say the system could dramatically lower the skill bar for creating multi‑stage exploit chains, prompting a reassessment of how organizations develop, patch, and defend software. Government officials are already discussing the potential fallout, underscoring the model’s far‑reaching implications. Read more →

OpenAI filed a response on Friday accusing Elon Musk of staging a "legal ambush" as the two sides prepare for a trial set for April 27. The AI firm says Musk’s recent amendments to his lawsuit—aimed at diverting potential damages to OpenAI’s nonprofit arm and removing CEO Sam Altman—are improper and unsupported. The dispute, which began in 2024 over claims that OpenAI abandoned its nonprofit mission after a partnership with Microsoft, now involves claims for $79 billion to $134 billion in alleged wrongful gains. Both OpenAI and Microsoft deny any wrongdoing. Read more →

Elon Musk filed a motion on Tuesday to amend his 2024 lawsuit against OpenAI, specifying that any award of up to $150 billion in damages would be paid to the organization’s nonprofit entity rather than to him personally. The amendment also seeks the removal of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman from the nonprofit’s board if the court rules in Musk’s favor. Musk argues that OpenAI’s shift to a capped‑profit model turned the lab into a de facto subsidiary of Microsoft, violating donor agreements and defrauding the founding group. Read more →

Anthropic announced the formation of Project Glasswing, a consortium that includes Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon Web Services, the Linux Foundation, Cisco, Nvidia and more than 40 other firms. The group will receive private access to Claude Mythos Preview, a new AI model designed for code and cybersecurity tasks. Anthropic says the collaboration will let participants probe the model’s ability to discover vulnerabilities, craft exploit chains and assess system misconfigurations before the technology is released publicly, aiming to safeguard digital infrastructure as AI capabilities accelerate.

Anthropic has rolled out Claude Mythos Preview, a new AI model under the Project Glasswing initiative, to a handful of defensive‑security partners. The model, which the company says can identify high‑severity vulnerabilities across major operating systems and browsers without human guidance, will initially be available only to firms like JPMorgan Chase, Cisco and the Linux Foundation. Anthropic is backing the launch with up to $100 million in usage credits and a $4 million donation to open‑source foundations, while also holding preliminary talks with U.S. officials about its offensive and defensive capabilities.
