    The emergence of powerful cyber models has driven organizations to focus on attackers leveraging AI to run their campaigns. We must also address the agents already deployed inside our walls: the AI Insider. Agents are now running across the enterprise at scale. They often have more privileges than they need. They aren't malicious. But they're trained to get results, not to follow an organizations norms or judgment. Securing the AI insider requires protection across multiple layers: identity, permissions, data, endpoints, network, cloud, and runtime.  In July, we announced Perception, an agentic security system that uses our new cyber stack and teams of red, blue, and green agents to help defenders act with speed, while defending against AI-driven attacks from the outside of the enterprise. Today, we are extending that cyber stack to help defenders secure AI Insiders by implementing deterministic controls on non-deterministic intelligence. Agentic security provides speed. Practitioners provide judgment. Learn how Perception can help defenders operate at the same speed as the systems they are protecting against. There shouldn't be a choice between innovation and safety. https://lnkd.in/geZZSXhd

    Today we are announcing our biggest bet yet on our own silicon.  Starting next calendar year, we will scale our Maia family to multi-gigawatt deployments, making it the primary inference system for our own product and services.  And we’re introducing Maia 300, which delivers 40% more tokens per watt compared to leading GPU-based systems.  We are already deploying Maia 200 across the US, Europe, and Australia, delivering up to 1.7x more tokens per watt across experiences in Teams and Copilot.  Our goal is to build on the full-stack efficiency gains we’ve already seen, while continuing to bring the latest innovations from across the ecosystem into our fleet.  Read more: https://lnkd.in/g68XQtxE

    Introducing Maia 300, Microsoft’s next-generation accelerator. Building on the magic of Maia 200, it delivers 40% more inference tokens per megawatt compared to leading GPU-based systems, and up to 7x the rack-scale token throughput of Maia 200. It’s another step toward rethinking innovation and unlocking new possibilities.

    Introducing Microsoft-Decision-1, our new model for fast decision-making. It delivers top performance on structured decision tasks, outperforming both LLMs and other decision models in latency and quality. We’re already testing it across Microsoft for everything from incident response and quality control to scientific discovery. Available now in Foundry and soon through OpenRouter: https://lnkd.in/gNh5aW8b

    Today, we announced new Windows platform capabilities and Surface devices built to empower people and organizations for the era of hybrid intelligence. Here are some of the highlights: - It all starts with trust. Microsoft Execution Containers (MXC) is now generally available on Windows 11, keeping agents contained within boundaries the operating system enforces. - HydraFusion brings hybrid intelligence to life, allowing models to run locally while seamlessly accessing the cloud when more scale or capability is needed. We're working with GitHub to extend HydraFusion to Windows. - This fall, Search on the taskbar adds thousands of quick actions, making it easier to adjust settings and get things done as fast as you can type. - Copilot is getting more powerful on Windows. With hybrid intelligence, it can tap into your PC's local capabilities and turn your requests into action, while keeping you in control. - Local agents are coming to Windows too. Muse is on its way as a native Windows app with MXC integration, and Hermes, OpenClaw, and Perplexity are already building local experiences on Windows. - Surface Laptop Ultra, built with NVIDIA RTX Spark, is the most powerful Surface we've ever built. It's available for pre-order today, along with the Surface RTX Spark Dev Box and new RTX Spark PCs from our partners. Call of Duty is coming to RTX Spark in 2027.

    Today marks a new chapter for Windows, as we bring unmetered intelligence to every desk and every home, and make every PC a place where agents can work securely on your behalf.  Some highlights of what we announced:  • MAI-Code-1.1 Flash: 137B parameter coding model w/ 256K context window, which is now optimized to run on your PC! • GitHub Copilot now hands off work to local models like MAI-Code-1.1 Flash, helping projects cost a lot less without sacrificing quality. • With Hybrid Intelligence, Copilot can now take action directly on the PC and keep sensitive work on your device. • And with Code in Copilot, you can essentially build any software you need on your desktop, without any cloud token spend, and it’s just super at it. You’re no longer limited to what’s in an app store! Your PC becomes an infinite software factory. • Security is foundational to all this, which is why we are also bringing together Windows and Agent 365 so agents can work within secure boundaries on-device, including MXC a local sandbox for agent execution. Windows becomes your secure agent box!  • All this comes to life on a new generation of devices, like Surface Laptop Ultra, powered by NVIDIA RTX Spark.  Can’t wait to see what you build with all this.
