Wise words from a three-year-old this weekend, still ringing in my head: Daddy longlegs are okay because they don't bite. They lick.

Building powerful long running agents requires a powerful agent harness. Now it's easier than ever inside of @Microsoft Foundry with the new Microsoft Copilot harness in Foundry Agent Service! 🧑‍💻 Build and govern a powerful agent powered by the same harness optimized across GitHub, Microsoft 365, and Copilot scenarios for agents that can accomplish complex and long running enterprise tasks -- no code required. All secured and governed in Foundry 🔐 Check it out: devblogs.microsoft.com/found…

Frontier performance at a fraction of the cost. In the @ArtificialAnlys Coding Agent Index, Copilot Fusion Max scored within two points of Claude Code with Opus 5.5 Max at about half the API cost per task. Get 30% off through Nov. 30. Try it now. ⬇️ docs.github.com/copilot/conc…
Chart titled "Coding Agent Index vs. Cost per Task" by Artificial Analysis. The chart displays Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index vs. average pay-per-token API cost per task (USD). It compares various agents, including some from Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity CLI, DeepSeek Harness, Grok Build, Opencode, Muse Code, Kimi Code CLI, and GitHub Copilot. The x-axis represents higher cost per task (USD) to lower cost per task (USD), and the y-axis represents the coding agent index. The chart highlights a "Most Attractive Quadrant" in green and uses dots to differentiate agents. Copilot Fusion (max) sits within the most attractive quadrant.

Today in the UK, I saw how the Yorkshire Ambulance Service is using Copilot to cut down on administrative work and make better use of its data, and ultimately provide a better experience for medical personnel and patients. It's an early example of what's possible as NHS England expands Copilot to as many as 500,000 clinicians and support staff across the country.
