Microsoft introduces Windows AI Foundry to help developers build and run AI models directly on PCs, part of a broader push to bring AI to the device.

A year of AI adoption, evolving user habits, and improved features could turn Microsoft’s early Copilot+ misstep into a mainstream success.

Microsoft says it used its own agentic reasoning AI model to help develop and synthesize a new immersion fluid for PC cooling—and then confirmed that it worked by dunking a PC motherboard into a vat of it.

Microsoft Build 2025, the company’s annual developer-focused event, showcased several developments aimed at integrating AI deeper

In addition, Windows AI Foundry will also support the large number of developers who are building their own LLMs. It said Windows ML will act as the built-in AI inference runtime to streamline model deployment across every CPU, GPU and NPU.

Microsoft is replacing 'Copilot Runtime' with Windows AI Foundry to help developers build, experiment, and reach users with AI experiences in their apps.

Microsoft is starting to integrate AI shortcuts, or what it calls AI actions, into the File Explorer in Windows 11. These shortcuts let you right-click on a file and quickly get to Windows AI features like blurring the background of a photo, erasing objects, or even summarizing content from Office files.

Nvidia and Microsoft announced work to accelerate the performance of AI processing on Nvidia RTX-based AI PCs. Generative AI is transforming PC software into breakthrough experiences — from digital humans to writing assistants,

File Explorer is getting a new option for ‘AI actions’ in its context-sensitive right-click menu. That means when you right-click a file, you’ll get extra context-based choices for working with AI abilities. To begin with – and remember, this is still in testing – there are four actions that relate to image files.
