Microsoft announced the general availability of Microsoft Discovery, its Azure-based platform for deploying autonomous AI agent teams in scientific R&D. The platform powered the development of Majorana 2, a topological quantum chip with 1,000x reliability improvement and 20-second qubit lifetimes. Microsoft now targets a scalable quantum computer by 2029, halving its original timeline. By Steef-Jan Wiggers

Microsoft announced Logic Apps Automation at Build 2026, a new SKU at auto.azure.com packaging workflows, AI agents, knowledge services, and model access into a managed SaaS experience. Agents integrate via agent-loop orchestration, Foundry agents, and managed sandbox. Knowledge as a Service provides a fully managed RAG pipeline. By Steef-Jan Wiggers

Michael Stiefel spoke to Sonya Natanzon, about the intersection of technical and social aspects of software architecture. Understanding the business and how a company operates is more important than the specific technologies used. Effective requirements analysis requires focusing on problems to be solved that describe good and bad outcomes, rather than statements of need or solution statements. By Sonya Natanzon

GitHub reports cutting token costs in agentic CI workflows by up to 62% by pruning unused MCP tools, swapping some MCP calls for gh CLI, and running daily “auditor” and “optimizer” agents. A token-usage.jsonl artefact and an Effective Tokens metric help track spend across models and spot regressions. By Mark Silvester

Microsoft added sandboxed code interpreters to Azure Logic Apps, enabling agents within integration workflows to generate and execute Python, JavaScript, C#, and PowerShell in Hyper-V isolated sessions. Architects get full control over model selection per workflow. The capability positions Logic Apps as an agent platform for integration alongside Foundry and Copilot Studio. By Steef-Jan Wiggers

InfoQ expands its online certification portfolio with new AI Engineering and Organizational Architecture cohorts, giving senior practitioners a confidential peer group to pressure-test production AI, platform, team design, and architecture decisions. By Artenisa Chatziou
