Microsoft ‘AI Era’ event liveblog


Refresh

We’re talking about a new system architecture running at 40+ trillion operations per second, 58% faster than the MacBook Air with M3, according to Mehdi.

Yusuf Medhi is taking the stage to tell us about the new category of PC platform.

Copilot + PC is the new platform Microsoft is introducing, though we don’t know a whole lot yet. This is absolutely about integrating AI into the entire Windows platform, not just a tool slapped like a barnacle on the side of a non-AI operating system. 

We’re starting with Copilot.

We’re underway now as Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella takes the stage. I can tell you right now, given the number of Qualcomm folks I’ve seen around here and how the Copilot logo is plastered all over the campus, it’s not really a mystery that this event is going to be heavily weighted towards Microsoft’s gargantuan AI ambitions and that Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X chips are going to play a pretty big role in Microsoft’s Surface device plans.

Here we go, folks! This is John, live from Microsoft’s Redmond campus in Washington state, where the venerable tech giant is holding a special event ahead of its annual Microsoft Build conference. We’re all expecting some exciting stuff from the event, so stay tuned as I bring you everything I see and hear over the next hour.
