Claude Opus 4.8 is now available in Microsoft 365 Copilot.

For businesses, that means better support for the work that often pushes AI to its limits: analysing complex documents, solving technical problems, writing code, conducting research and working through multi-step reasoning.

Opus 4.8 is designed to be more reliable when dealing with ambiguity and uncertainty, making it better suited to higher-stakes work.

All within Microsoft 365.

If you want practical AI skills you can actually use at work, Microsoft is running AI Skills Fest, a free global online event from June 4–14 with live sessions, workshops, certifications and hands-on hackathons.

Some of our team are especially looking forward to the hackathons, where participants build and experiment with real AI agents, workflows and automation ideas in a collaborative environment.

There’s also sessions focused on Copilot, cybersecurity and real-world business AI use cases. See the comments to register.

Cyber security failures start quietly through weak passwords, outdated systems, unmanaged devices and businesses assuming nothing has been missed until staff lose access, files disappear or operations stop.
