This is my first one of these here, so quick hello 👋
I run a small daily AI-news thing for builders. The whole idea is low-effort on your side: if you're slammed, just skim this, go "huh, that's a thing now," and get on with your day. No homework, no hot takes — just the handful of things worth knowing. If one of them turns out to matter for you, great. That's the bar.
Today it was all Microsoft Build, and your dev stack basically landed in three layers — write, run, choose.
At Microsoft Build 2026, GitHub shipped a native, agent-native Copilot desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Every session runs in its own isolated git worktree, so parallel agents work at the same time without colliding. A single "My Work" view tracks sessions, issues, PRs, and background automations; you pick the model per session (Anthropic, OpenAI, or GitHub's own), wire up MCP servers, and package recurring work as reusable skills. It's in technical preview now for Copilot Pro, Pro+, Business, and Enterprise.
Microsoft moved Foundry Local to general availability: run AI models right on your machine across Windows, macOS (Apple Silicon), and Linux. DirectML 2.0 gives one GPU layer across vendors, so there's no per-token cloud cost and your data stays local. It pairs with the new Surface RTX Spark Dev Box (up to 1 petaflop, 128GB unified memory) that runs 120B-parameter models locally.

You can call Claude through an existing Azure agreement with no separate Anthropic key or contract, so you route to the best model per task and keep one bill.
