Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says Sam Altman will appear onstage at Build soon to “talk about what’s next” with Microsoft CTO and EVP of AI Kevin Scott. Will we hear about OpenAI’s search engine, powered partly by Bing? GPT-5? Vague promises of the AI future? Stay tuned.
OpenAI’s latest GPT-4o model is now available for businesses to use through Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service. The model includes multimodal input and output, and Microsoft has demonstrated new ways developers can leverage this model for conversational AI in their apps.
Microsoft is now allowing businesses to preview its new Arm-based Cobalt CPU on Azure virtual machines. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced onstage at Build that the preview opens today, and these chips should include some performance increases for cloud workloads.
Lots of applause from the developers in the audience at Microsoft Build for the company’s new Windows Copilot Runtime. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella likens this to a big moment like Win32, allowing developers to more easily build AI into their Windows apps.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has opened Build 2024 by discussing the new AI era. He says Microsoft has had two dreams for decades:
1) Can computers understand us instead of us having to understand computers?
2) In a world where we have ever-increasing information, can computers help us reason, plan, and act more effectively on all that information?
Nadella is positioning this wave of AI as the answer to Microsoft’s dreams.
