To mark the broad rollout of Agent Mode in Copilot, we had some fun recreating an iconic 90s Excel ad: same ad, smarter Excel. Watch the original: https://lnkd.in/gB4cpgwU

We're making a big change to the Copilot experience. Agent Mode is generally available and now the default across Copilot in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. As models become more capable, we’re bringing that power to where real work happens, right in the canvas. The power of a spreadsheet as an example is its spatial representation of information. What sits next to what, what feeds what. Give an agent that canvas to reason over, and a single prompt can reshape the model, the bridge, and the narrative at once. Read why: https://lnkd.in/g9adyV69

What if the box mattered as much as the device inside it? For the team behind Project Alder, it does. And it led to a full rethink of packaging – a total redesign that removes nearly all single-use plastics. Engineers, designers and a whole host of partners came together (for several hundred hours) to prove that sustainability can be built into the experience, not added on at the end. Find out more about the work that’s gone into making our packaging something that really matters, for product and planet: https://lnkd.in/gTgSrv5z

I had so much fun with Julian Duffy in Microsoft’s Packaging Design Studio in Redmond, where teams are rethinking how our products are packaged, tested, and shipped with sustainability built in from the start. The Studio is where old assumptions are challenged, materials are reconsidered, and new ideas are tested at scale, all while making sure products arrive safely to our customers around the world. It’s a constant balancing act - protecting products in transit while continuing to push toward our zero‑waste by 2030 goal. What stood out to me most from our conversation was the idea that sustainability isn’t one‑dimensional. Breadth and depth matter, and progress of every shape and size plays a role in designing sustainable products. Join me inside the studio and hear from Julian about how this work has evolved over the years. 🎥

Our Fairwater datacenter in Wisconsin is going live, ahead of schedule. As the world’s most powerful AI datacenter, it will bring together hundreds of thousands of GB200s into a single seamless cluster. Congrats to all the teams who made this possible!
If intelligence is the log of compute… it starts with a lot of compute! And that’s why we’re scaling our GPU fleet faster than anyone else. Just last year, we added over 2 gigawatts of new capacity – roughly the output of 2 nuclear power plants. And today we’re going further, announcing the world's most powerful AI datacenter, located in southeastern Wisconsin. Fairwater is a seamless cluster of hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200s, connected by enough fiber to circle the Earth 4.5 times. It will deliver 10x the performance of the world’s fastest supercomputer today, enabling AI training and inference workloads at a level never before seen. For AI training workloads, you need compute at exponential scale. That’s why we designed the datacenter, GPU fleet, and network together as one integrated system. This ensures a single job can run from day 1 at exponential scale across thousands of GPUs. Fairwater uses a liquid-cooled closed-loop system for cooling GPUs that requires zero water for operations after construction. And we’re matching all of the energy that is consumed with renewable sources. And of course, it is just one of several similar sites we’re lighting up across our 70+ regions. We have multiple identical Fairwater datacenters under construction in other locations across the US, in addition to our AI infrastructure already deployed in over 100 datacenters around the world, powering model training, test-time compute, RL tuning, and real-time inference at global scale. Too often during times like this, people go with the current and only later wonder, how did we get here? With Fairwater, we're charting a new path: doing the hard engineering work, bringing compute, network, and storage into one highly scaled cluster, and designing closed-loop energy systems to meet real-world computing needs. And partnering with local communities to ensure it's thoughtfully done in a way that is sustainable, creates new jobs, and expands opportunity. We are thrilled to see this take hold in Wisconsin, and we are just getting started. Learn more about Fairwater here: https://lnkd.in/gpdni9gt

I had the chance to learn alongside Microsoft Student Ambassadors in Singapore today. Conversations like these are a powerful reminder that the most important insights about AI don’t just come to students, they come from them. Together with the Minister for Education, Dr. Janil Puthucheary, we announced free Microsoft 365 Copilot for more than 200,000 students across Singapore’s universities and colleges. This is the generation that will put AI to work — and help define how it’s used.
