Today, we are announcing a series of updates that give customers frontier-grade security at half the cost.
MAI-Cyber-1-Flash is our first cybersecurity model, built ground up to find the most challenging vulnerabilities in complex code bases. When combined with MDASH, it delivers world-class performance at 50 percent of the cost of leading models.
We are bringing this capability to market through Project Perception, a complete agentic security offering grounded in real-world signals and security workflows. Teams of specialized agents work together to simulate attacks, detect and triage/investigate, and fix and remediate.
This is the benefit of building the harness, context/signals, and action space separate from one model family. By combining specialized models and data with the right agents, tools, security context, and harness, we can advance the frontier of cost to outcome.

Claude Sonnet 4 is here—rolling out to all paid GitHub Copilot plans starting today. It now also serves as the base model powering our new coding agent. In early evaluations, the model soared in these scenarios—delivering up to a 10% improvement over the previous generation, driven by sharper tool use, tighter instruction-following, and stronger coding instincts. Additionally, Claude Opus 4 will be available on Copilot Enterprise and Pro+ plans.

A real, practical device technology that provides stable, logical, qubits. We are entering the quantum era. This is not hype.
A breakthrough in quantum computing. Majorana 1 brings us closer to harnessing millions of potential qubits working together to solve the unsolvable—from new medicines to revolutionary materials—all on a single chip. #QuantumComputing #QuantumReady
