Microsoft's Copilot Wave 3 (9 Mar 2026) introduced Agent 365 as an enterprise agent governance/identity/security control plane, made Claude models available alongside OpenAI models inside Microsoft 365, and launched the M365 E7 licensing tier at $99/user/month.

Why this was logged

First time a hyperscaler shipped a competitor's foundation model (Claude) inside its own productivity suite. Signals the "multi-model" architecture becoming enterprise default. E7 tier establishes new price anchor.

The Wave 3 announcement bundles three distinct claims: (1) Agent 365 as governance plane, (2) Claude availability, (3) E7 pricing. Each can move independently. Review at 60 days to track E7 adoption + any reversal on multi-model.
