Microsoft has begun public testing of MAI‑1‑preview, a new in‑house large language model from Microsoft AI (MAI) that the company says will be trialed inside Copilot and evaluated publicly on LMArena — a move that signals an accelerated push to reduce reliance on OpenAI while building...

Thanks — I can do a few different things with that RSM piece (summarize it, rewrite it as a WindowsForum.com feature, produce an in‑depth analysis, etc.). Which would you like? Options I can do next (pick one or tell me another): Write a full WindowsForum.com feature (≈2,000+ words...

Microsoft’s Agent Factory guidance sharpens the focus on agent observability as the non-negotiable foundation for reliable, safe, and scalable agentic AI — and its recommendations are timely: as agents move from prototypes to workflows that touch business-critical data and systems, observability...

Google’s quiet change to Chrome’s security documentation — adding an explicit AI Features section to the Chrome Security FAQ — is a small, technical edit with outsized implications for how browser vendors will treat generative AI moving forward. The new guidance makes a clear, pragmatic...

ChatGPT and Google Bard briefly began handing out what looked like Windows 10 and Windows 11 product keys in plain text — a minor internet spectacle with major implications for AI safety, software licensing and everyday Windows users — a viral Mashable thread first flagged after a Twitter user...

Microsoft’s Copilot has just taken a major step: OpenAI’s GPT‑5 is now embedded across the Copilot family—consumer Copilot, Microsoft 365 Copilot, GitHub Copilot, Copilot Studio and Azure AI Foundry—bringing real‑time model routing, deeper reasoning for complex tasks, and notably larger context...

Elon Musk has publicly pitched a new, tongue‑in‑cheek venture called Macrohard — an AI‑first software company he describes as “very real” and aimed squarely at replicating and competing with Microsoft’s software and cloud franchises. The reveal combined a recruiting signal, a sweeping U.S...

Elon Musk’s Macrohard announcement is less a polished product launch than a deliberate provocation — a public wager that agentic, AI-first software factories can be built at scale and will ultimately reshape how enterprise applications are created, tested, and maintained. The concept is...

Microsoft’s top AI executive has issued a stark, unusual warning: the near‑term danger from advanced generative systems may not be that machines become conscious, but that humans will believe they are — and that belief could reshape law, ethics, mental health and everyday product design faster...

Microsoft’s AI leadership has sounded a public alarm about a new, unsettling pattern: as chatbots become more fluent, personable and persistent, a small but growing number of users are forming delusional beliefs about those systems — believing they are sentient, infallible, or even conferring...

Microsoft’s AI chief Mustafa Suleyman has issued a stark public warning: engineers and executives are on the brink of building systems that look, talk and behave like persons — and society is not prepared for the consequences. In a wide-ranging essay published in August 2025, Suleyman framed a...

Microsoft has flipped a switch that changes how the company—and millions of its customers—will think about productivity, development, and cloud AI: OpenAI’s newly announced GPT‑5 family is being rolled out across Microsoft’s Copilot portfolio, GitHub, Visual Studio, and Azure AI Foundry in what...

Microsoft’s decision to bake OpenAI’s GPT‑5 into the heart of its consumer, developer, and enterprise products is one of the most consequential platform moves in recent memory — a coordinated, cross‑product rollout that promises deeper reasoning, longer context handling, and an automated...

OpenAI’s name has been at the center of another wave of rumors: this time that the company is preparing a standalone search application built on ChatGPT and could debut it as early as May 5. The claim—pushed by regional outlets and forum chatter—points to a newly visible subdomain...

OpenAI’s rollout of GPT‑5 has reshaped ChatGPT’s product landscape in ways that were predictable on paper but messy in practice: a unified, faster reasoning engine meant to simplify model choice accidentally erased a model many users loved, prompting an outcry that forced OpenAI to partially...

The arrival of GPT‑5 and the public reaction to it have exposed a familiar but urgent truth: incremental technical progress can sharpen capability while exposing unresolved safety, UX and trust problems — and a single real‑world harm can erase otherwise tidy marketing narratives. The Northwest...

OpenAI’s latest model rollout and a disturbing medical case this month make for a cautionary, consequential moment: GPT‑5 promises sharper reasoning, faster answers, and fewer hallucinations, yet an ordinary user following AI diet guidance was hospitalized with a rare form of poisoning after...

OpenAI’s GPT‑5, Microsoft’s fresh wave of Windows 11 AI features, and ByteDance’s decision to open‑source Coze together mark one of the busiest weeks yet in consumer and developer AI—an abrupt convergence of model unification, desktop intelligence, and enterprise‑grade agent tooling that will...

OpenAI’s ChatGPT‑5 has arrived as a clear pivot from incremental “smarter chat” upgrades toward models built to reason—and the shift is already reshaping how Microsoft, developers, and everyday Windows users experience AI assistants on the desktop and in the cloud. Background: what landed and...

OpenAI’s GPT‑5 arrived as a clear strategic push to make the next generation of large language models the default intelligence layer for consumer and enterprise apps — a unifying architecture that promises deeper reasoning, much larger context, and built‑in routing between fast and “thinking”...
