Copilot Cowork Is Here — But Can You Control the Costs?

But I haven't been able to get access yet to Copilot Cowork.

which Microsoft released for general availability last month.

So I think it was previously only available to what they call kind of frontier companies that have advanced access to this kind of thing.

So from what I understood, it can run on various different models.

So that could be anthropic or open AI models.

And I think Microsoft is creating their own model for this as well, which is apparently coming soon.

Have you used any of these kind of, you know, agent-y, let's do step-by-step task things in AI? I haven't really touched that stuff yet, but have you had any experience with that? I have, but I

haven't used...

I haven't used co-work.

I mean, I would say that I use Anthropic a lot, Claude.

And my work and I do some global vibe coding at home.

So if we kind of look at what co-work is, I mean, I built some agents to do a little bit of work around some automation in my house and stuff.

So, I mean, I'm familiar with how that's going to work.

One thing that I was...

I found it interesting, and maybe you have some more clarification on this.

It looks like co-work is going to behave a lot like anthropic when it comes to consumption-based.

So, for example, I have a subscription to Claude that I pay.

But if I want to do like API activity coding, I have to pay an additional fee.

And it appears that CodeWork is following that same model, at least from what I'm seeing.

Well, you know, Craig, I think that's why I don't have access to it.

Because basically they're afraid of what I'm going to do with it.

No, I'm joking.

I'm joking, IT people.

I've only just requested access to it.

So that's interesting because this is off by default.
