#MSBuild
$MSFT unveiled its next-generation quantum chip called Majorana 2 and says it is targeting useful quantum machines by 2029.
Microsoft says AI-designed materials helped unlock a major performance jump.
The @MicrosoftAI model family expands in Microsoft Foundry with 7 new models. A complete multimodal stack: Text, image, transcription, and voice, ready for developers to build with under one set of governance and security controls. #MSBuild
Meet Microsoft Scout.
An always-on agent that keeps work moving, taking action without needing to be prompted each time.
As Microsoftโs first Autopilot agent, Microsoft Scout works across Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, and moreโtaking action within the controls your organization sets.

Microsoft $MSFT just posted this:
โFoundry IQ is the agent-native knowledge layer behind your Foundry agents. Every source in one knowledge base - Work IQ, Fabric IQ, and now Web IQ. Serverless grounding, zero friction.โ
As Satya shared in todayโs keynote at Build, we just launched Microsoft Web IQ - our next generation search engine for AI agents. It is a new suite of AI-native grounding APIs designed to connect AI systems with fresh, reliable web data for enhanced real-world intelligence including, web pages, news, images, and videos.
Search engines like Bing were built for humans, yet the next era of search will be for AI agents. Some estimates indicate that agents will generate 1000 times more queries than all search engines for humans combined in a few years, so not surprisingly, this is an exciting space with many competing solutions already.
To build Web IQ, our search team leveraged more than 20 years of technical innovations in Bing and re-architected the stack to serve agent queries most efficiently. Web IQ leads across the three things that matter most in this space: quality, latency, and token efficiency - as you can see in the graphs of the Bing blog linked below.
As an example, you may remember Harrier, our best-in-class embedding model I posted about a couple months back, which is still #1 in the relevant industry leaderboard. Harrier plays an important role in this system by helping optimize semantic retrieval, which strengthens the grounding pipeline. Itโs just one of the many innovations that helped us build Web IQ.
Web IQ is also designed to honor publisher preferences by default, with systems and policies respecting publisher controls and content access preferences across the web.
The APIs in Web IQ are already powering nearly all AI agents and chatbots in the industry today, including Copilot and ChatGPT, so Microsoft is currently leading this new and rapidly growing category of search grounding for agents. Iโm proud to share this important work and to continue driving innovation that is shaping the future of search.
Microsoft is announcing MAI-Thinking-1 today, its first advanced reasoning AI model. It's built for math and coding primarily, and is part of 7 new AI models Microsoft is launching today. Details ๐ https://t.co/Sz5CSCbYQD
$MSFT announced Project Solara at Build which is a new AI device architecture built around autonomous agents running locally while staying connected to cloud data centers.
$NVDA CEO Jensen Huang said the partnership brings autonomous agents directly to the PC.
Nvidia just officially announced its Windows on ARM chips. RTX Spark is โthe most efficient PC chip ever built,โ apparently. Nvidia has worked with Microsoft on RTX Spark laptops, with up to 128GB of unified memory for running large AI workloads locally https://t.co/JjDykUZwyg

Analyst sees an attractive opportunity for capital appreciation based on a compelling AI vision, a strong financial profile, and steady leadership.
Holy, NVIDIA revealed RTX Spark and its nuts. Superchip. Blackwell-GPU (RTX-5070-Cores) 128GB, 1 PetaFLOP KI, 1440p/100FPSand so much for Laptops. Insane
Jensen Huang says the AI PC reinvention is as big as the smartphone shift by calling it โa new lineโ and โa new beginning.โ
$NVDA and $MSFT unveiled RTX Spark which will be the worldโs most powerful deskside AI supercomputer built to run next-gen AI agent workloads locally.
Microsoft just announced its own MacBook Pro. The Surface Laptop Ultra has Nvidiaโs new RTX Spark ARM chip, and itโs โthe most powerfulโ Surface ever. Itโs a spiritual successor to the Surface Book, complete with an SD Card reader and plenty of ports https://t.co/fbDOZ0wuBS
