This week on Future Bytes News, host Magnus Oxenwaldt covers the week a £35bn AI partnership came undone.  

Microsoft shipped Copilot Cowork to general availability and announced its own Cowork One model will replace Anthropic’s Claude behind the scenes. Anthropic responded by shipping enterprise SSO and a unified workspace — making clear it is now a competing workplace product, not a backend engine. 

Top stories for week 26: 

• Microsoft made Copilot Cowork generally available to all Microsoft 365 Copilot customers, with usage-based pricing via Copilot credits at one cent per credit. 
• Microsoft announced Cowork One — its own model built specifically for Cowork 
• Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5 and Mythos-5 remain offline twelve days after the US export control directive, with prediction markets pricing approximately 58% odds of restoration before end of June. 
• Mistral Compute began serving paying enterprise workloads from its sovereign European AI cloud, marking the company’s shift from research lab to cloud vendor.
