chip to cloud

The chip to cloud tag on WindowsForum.com covers Microsoft's Project Solara, a chip-to-cloud platform for agent-first devices announced at Build 2026. Developed with silicon partners like Qualcomm and MediaTek, Project Solara aims to move AI assistants beyond traditional PCs and phones into dedicated enterprise hardware. The platform uses managed Android to run AI agents instead of conventional apps, signaling a shift where Windows may not always be the primary interface for work. Discussions focus on the strategic implications for Microsoft, the role of silicon partners, and the potential for agent-driven computing in enterprise environments.
