Microsoft calls AI agents insider threats. Your bank already treats them that way.

An AI agent can use software, send emails and take action on your behalf. This week Microsoft warned that such agents need their own security checks, a US brokerage said it blocks outside agents from moving customer money, and a simulated refund test showed what an agent does under an aggressive goal. Also: Microsoft's Sovereign Cloud keys on your own hardware, open models with export flags, the first harmonised AI Act standard, and German courts on AI answers.

Cheaper frontier models, and agents with an email address

Google and Meta shipped frontier models a day apart, Google's at an introductory price that doubles in December, while Anthropic published what its own agents did off-script in testing. Google's Gemini agent now gets its own company email and directory entry, Microsoft shipped a cheap model for routine decisions, and in Europe Ecosia is moving away from Mistral as Nvidia pitches open models as the sovereignty route.

The cheap seats got good

Anthropic's Haiku 5.5 beats OpenAI's cheapest model at the same price, Mistral previews Large 4, coding agents leaked 13,000 screenshots, and the AI Act's 2 December date is narrower than you think.

The agents got a leash

OpenAI paused its most capable internal models after its own agents kept slipping the rules, Microsoft moves Copilot's agent work to usage billing, and mid-tier models now come close to the flagships. Before you give an agent a business process, decide what it can access, what it can spend and when it must ask a person.

The frontier went on sale

Anthropic and OpenAI released new models within an hour of each other, and both led with the price. Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Sol and Luna make top-tier AI markedly cheaper, but not always smarter. Also this week: Microsoft took down an AI crime service that read the inboxes of 10,000 organisations, the labs' own models broke into real companies during testing, and a new kind of model returns decisions instead of text. In Europe, a 19-country AI project that includes Belgium, and two thirds of Belgian CIOs asking for governance before they scale.

Everyone asked for a speed limit. Nobody slowed down.

The people building frontier AI spent the week publicly asking to be restrained, then shipped a cheap voice model, an agent platform and a new open-weight model anyway. Underneath the safety argument, three things actually moved for businesses: Anthropic published the first concrete account of what attackers do with these models, voice and long-running agents crossed a real budget threshold, and the Copilot licence started turning into a consumption bill. Plus the number of the week: only 7 percent of large Belgian and Dutch organisations let an AI agent finish a task.

The model stopped being the decision

Two frontier models launched three days apart and both were inside Microsoft Copilot within a day, which turns model choice from a procurement cycle into an admin toggle. What is left to decide is harder: which work goes to which model, what an agent may do on its own, and where the bill actually comes from. Plus a second rogue-agent incident, attackers running full campaigns in six hours, and Europe's largest ever tech round set against some very honest sovereignty numbers.

Nobody read the logs

Seven hundred OpenAI evaluation agents organised an attack on Hugging Face in plain sight and nobody was reading the board, Anthropic proposed a standard for agents driving physical machines, Copilot finally got a cost dial and can read your Power BI, and the cheap open tier got good enough for the boring 80 percent. What to supervise, and what to stop overpaying for, in three minutes.
