Copilot goes cheap as Microsoft phases out OpenAI and Anthropic models to cut costs

Microsoft is replacing AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic with its own MAI models in products like Excel and Outlook. Tens of thousands of queries per week already run through them. AI chief Mustafa Suleyman wants to "ultimately eliminate" the cost of external models. For Copilot customers, that could mean less performance for the same price.

wrangler@4.107.1

Patch Changes #14514 d88555e Thanks @dependabot ! - Update dependencies of "miniflare", "wrangler" The following dependency versions have been updated: Dependency From To workerd 1.20260701.1 1.20260702.1 #14564 5fd8bee Thanks @jibin7jose ! - Fix an issue where wrangler dev would not override config vars with values from .dev.vars during local development when the secrets field was defined in the configuration file. #14332 5d9990e Thanks @Divkix ! - Fix misleading error guidance when deploying a new Worker with secrets.required When a Worker declares secrets.required and has never been deployed before, the previous error message suggested running wrangler secret put <NAME> , which doesn't work because the Worker doesn't exist yet. The one path that does work — wrangler deploy --secrets-file <path> — was not mentioned anywhere in the error output. The pre-deploy error now explains that wrangler secret put cannot be used for a new Worker, and directs users to the --secrets-file flag instead. The post-deploy error for existing Workers now also mentions --secrets-file alongside wrangler secret put . #14507 bf49a41 Thanks @joey727 ! - Fix a potential crash when displaying certain CLI output Previously, some CLI output with no content lines could cause a crash. This is now handled correctly. #14492 1ac96a1 Thanks @penalosa ! - Replace the CommonJS xdg-app-paths dependency with a vendored pure-ESM implementation xdg-app-paths (and its xdg-portable / os-paths dependencies) are CommonJS only, which caused "Dynamic require of 'path' is not supported" errors when the surrounding code was bundled to ESM. The global config/cache directory resolution is now provided by a small, dependency-free pure-ESM module in @cloudflare/workers-utils that reproduces the previous path resolution exactly (verified against the real package in unit tests), so existing config and credential locations are unchanged. This also drops the transitive fsevents optional dependency that xdg-app-paths pulled in. Miniflare and create-cloudflare now consume the shared helpers from @cloudflare/workers-utils instead of maintaining their own copies, importing node-only leaf entry points ( @cloudflare/workers-utils/fs-helpers , @cloudflare/workers-utils/global-wrangler-config-path ) where ESM bundling is required. #14572 f416dd9 Thanks @petebacondarwin ! - Key local rate limit counters by namespace_id instead of binding name wrangler dev and Miniflare previously tracked each rate limit binding's counter by its binding name, so two bindings that referenced the same namespace_id were treated as separate limiters. Counters are now keyed by namespace_id , matching production: bindings that share a namespace_id share a limit, while distinct namespaces stay isolated. This also re-enables rate limit bindings in multiworker wrangler dev sessions, where they were previously stripped from secondary Workers to avoid a startup crash. #14570 1ca8d8f Thanks @penalosa ! - Upgrade signal-exit from v3 to v4 The bundled signal-exit dependency was CJS-only. Upgrading to v4 (which ships a dual ESM/CJS build) unblocks ESM output. Exit-cleanup behaviour is unchanged, though v4 no longer registers handlers for a few signals that are no longer supported by the OS ( SIGUNUSED on Linux; SIGABRT / SIGALRM on Windows). #14561 b973ed3 Thanks @martijnwalraven ! - Emit an error event for watch-mode rebuild failures in unstable_startWorker Initial build failures already dispatch an error event (surfaced as buildFailed on the DevEnv bus), but watch-mode rebuild failures were only logged from inside the esbuild plugin, so programmatic consumers had no way to observe them while dev kept serving the previous bundle. Rebuild failures now route through the same error path as initial-build failures: terminal output is unchanged and buildFailed fires symmetrically.

RedWing MaaS Packages Android Bank Fraud as a Telegram Rental Service

A new Android malware operation called RedWing is being rented out on Telegram as a ready-made bank-fraud service. It lets even low-skill criminals take over a victim's phone, steal their banking logins, and capture the one-time codes that protect their accounts. Zimperium's zLabs, which found the operation, says it looks like a new variant of Oblivion, a $300-a-month rent-a-malware tool
