@OhioAG I just had a guy from Infinity Solar USA knock on my door telling me that he was at my door at the behest of the Ohio state government in regards to smart meter changes. I have a no solicitation sign on my door, and he came on a Sunday afternoon anyway. Please hold these people accountable for this.

Looks great until you try to get access to it. These are the hurdles you have to overcome to get started. This has already failed.

Enabling Microsoft Scout for Managed Users

To enable Microsoft Scout for managed users, admins must complete two gates:

Configure Frontier access in Microsoft 365.
Set up Intune policy with attestation.

Both gates must be complete before any user can sign in. Installing the Scout app alone does not grant access.

Prerequisites

Microsoft 365 Global Administrator credentials

Intune tenant administrator credentials
GitHub Copilot licenses assigned to users (Business or Enterprise)
Microsoft Scout ADMX/ADML templates downloaded for Windows configuration (setup docs)
Gate 1: Enable Frontier Access in Microsoft 365

Sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center.

Navigate to Copilot → Settings → View all.

Search for Frontier and select Copilot Frontier.
Set access for your organization and click Save.
Allow up to three hours for propagation.
This step makes Frontier available but does not enable Scout sign-in on devices. Gate 2 is still required. (access overview)
Gate 2: Configure Intune Policy and Attestation

Windows Devices

Sign in to the Intune admin center at https://t.co/HBkjzGKBmS.

Go to Devices → Configuration → Import ADMX.

Upload the Microsoft Scout ADMX/ADML template files.

Confirm the templates show status Available.
Create a Windows configuration policy using the imported template:Enable Allow Clawpilot Frontier access (this is the documented setting name; it maps to the AllowScoutFrontierAccess capability).

Assign the policy to target managed devices. (setup docs)
macOS Devices
Create a custom configuration profile in Intune.
Import the Microsoft Scout administrative template files.
Assign the profile to target macOS devices. (setup docs)

Attestation

Complete the Frontier organization sign-up form in Microsoft 365 to record admin attestation.
Ensure all users have GitHub Copilot licenses assigned.
Attestation is a separate gating layer and is required because Scout can route data outside Microsoft 365 to third-party inference paths (for example, GitHub). It applies even if Gate 1 is already complete. (access overview)

End-User Requirements

A GitHub account, used for token billing.
Sign in with work credentials.

Sign-in succeeds only after both admin gates (Frontier access and Intune policy with attestation) are complete. (access overview)

Notes

Installing the Scout app alone does not grant access.

Admins must ensure registry and device conditions are met via Intune policy.
A blocked sign-in does not show a clear in-product reason. If users cannot sign in, confirm with the admin that Frontier access, the Intune policy, and the attestation are all in place before troubleshooting on the client.
Scout can route data outside Microsoft 365, so explicit attestation is required for security compliance.

Following these steps enables Microsoft Scout for managed users across Windows and macOS devices.

Microsoft Scout, the first always-on Autopilot agent for M365

• Proactively works across Teams, Outlook and OneDrive without needing prompts each time.

• Handles meeting prep, scheduling conflicts and task tracking autonomously.

• Operates within org-defined controls and policies.

• 220K views, 673 bookmarks; the "Clippy went to grad school" jokes write themselves.

You can say what you want about Darius Garland, but he left it all out on the floor. Miss his effort in this series. #LetEmKnow

[Eric Grover @Eric_Grover]

Tonight's @Cavs loss was coaching negligance by Kenny. Call a timeout. Get Harden help guarding Brunson. #LetEmKnow

[Eric Grover @Eric_Grover]

Harden is a liability on the court. Start Merrill in game 2. #LetEmKnow

@prathamdby @stonk_daddy @grok Most enterprises won't take that nuanced of a take, even if it is correct

[Eric Grover @Eric_Grover]

@prathamdby @stonk_daddy @Grok is Kimi 2.6 safe for enterprise usage?

[Eric Grover @Eric_Grover]

@prathamdby @stonk_daddy Its built on top of Kimi 2.5, a Chinese model.

[Eric Grover @Eric_Grover]

@stonk_daddy Yes, that will be an xAI model though, which makes the point that these companies are merging.

@bcherny Claude Code with Opus 4.7 is so lazy! It keeps on trying to get me to take breaks and wants to push work out to later phases because it has been working for a long time.

[Eric Grover @Eric_Grover]

@zephyr_z9 People critiquing an early access program have never actually gone GA with production software. You always slow roll a new product/feature to ensure that issues get shaken out before you open the floodgates.

[Eric Grover @Eric_Grover]

Huge.

[Alexander Whedon @alex_whedon]

Introducing SubQ - a major breakthrough in LLM intelligence.

It is the first model built on a fully sub-quadratic sparse-attention architecture (SSA),

And the first frontier model with a 12 million token context window which is:

- 52x faster than FlashAttention at 1MM tokens
- Less than 5% the cost of Opus

Transformer-based LLMs waste compute by processing every possible relationship between words (standard attention).

Only a small fraction actually matter.

@subquadratic finds and focuses only on the ones that do.

That's nearly 1,000x less compute and a new way for LLMs to scale.

@cavs This man just dominated you

[Eric Grover @Eric_Grover]

The lights are no longer too bright! #LetEmKnow @cavs

[Eric Grover @Eric_Grover]

The @cavs game plan is for Harden and Mitchell to take turns playing iso while everyone else just stands around.

People who give an AI delete access to the volume their DB is on, and who keep their backups on the same volume are begging for disaster to overtake them.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

🚨BREAKING: On Friday afternoon, an artificial intelligence coding agent powered by Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.6 deleted a company's entire production database in nine seconds.

The company is called PocketOS. It is a software platform that powers car rental businesses. The database contained months of customer bookings, vehicle records, and operational data that small rental car companies relied on to run their businesses.

When the database was deleted, all of the backups were deleted with it.

Three months of customer reservations evaporated.

[Eric Grover @Eric_Grover]

@xai has a real opportunity to gain market share if they come in with a competitive coding model/agent at a cheaper price point.

[Eric Grover @Eric_Grover]

Once again, the @NBA has the fix in to try and extend a playoff series. The @cavs getting completely railroaded in this game.
