Five capabilities moved onto Foundry deployments hosted on Azure rather than only Hosted on Anthropic. The practical change is residency: a US Data Zone Standard deployment can now run a web-search-backed research agent and connect to internal MCP servers without prompts leaving Azure. Regulated teams previously chose between agentic capability and their data-handling commitment, or rebuilt search, fetch, MCP, and tool routing client-side.

Released July 10, joining .NET and Python, with providers for Foundry, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, A2A, plus MCP support, human-in-the-loop approvals, checkpointed multi-agent workflows, and OpenTelemetry tracing (Microsoft Go Blog). For Go teams running services and clou...
Anthropic released Claude Managed Agents in public beta on April 8. Hosted infrastructure. Automatic scaling. Sandboxed code execution. Scoped permissions. Persistent sessions with checkpointing. The things you'd need to build yourself if you wanted to run agents in production...
MCP now has 97M+ monthly SDK downloads. First-class client support across ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and VS Code. Governed by the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) under Linux Foundation, co-founded by Anthropic, Block, and OpenAI. AAIF also hosts Goose (op...
For a month, Claude Code users were convinced the model had been "nerfed." Forums lit up. Conspiracy theories multiplied. People switched tools. Then on April 23, Anthropic did something unusual: they published a detailed post-mortem that named three specific bugs with exact d...
The Model Context Protocol has a security problem that's no longer theoretical — it's statistical. Between January and February 2026, researchers filed 30+ CVEs against MCP servers, clients, and infrastructure. One package with nearly 500,000 downloads carried a CVSS 9.6 RCE....
1. Flip your multi-model pipeline to review-then-generate. Instead of using a reasoning model to plan before code generation, let the specialist generate freely and use reasoning tokens for review. Paper shows 90.2% pass@1 vs 87.2% for the planning pattern. Source 2. Audit you...
