Microsoft 365 Copilot auto-enables OpenAI as a subprocessor today, raising EU data questions
Starting today, Microsoft automatically routes Microsoft 365 Copilot and Copilot Studio traffic through OpenAI infrastructure rather than Azure, unless enterprise admins opt out in the admin center. The change excludes affected data from in-country processing commitments, a compliance concern for EU organizations operating under data residency rules.

How agents actually ship
One researched edition a week: real deployments, the stacks behind them, and the honest counter-facts.
Caylent builds its own agent orchestrator and cuts a 2,600-hour migration to 220
Instead of buying a migration tool, Caylent built a multi-agent orchestrator on the Claude Agent SDK that runs inside the customer's own cloud and cut one engagement from 2,600 engineering hours to about 220.
Eve makes the buy-a-vertical-vendor case for small plaintiff law firms
Plaintiff firms with no in-house ML team buy their agents off the shelf, and Eve customers report large jumps in lead conversion, case value, and drafting speed.
Suzano puts a natural-language-to-SQL agent in front of 50,000 staff
A Brazilian pulp-and-paper maker built a Gemini agent that turns plain-language questions into SQL, which Google Cloud says cut query time by about 95 percent for 50,000 employees.
