About this tag
The tag 'cobalt' on WindowsForum.com covers multiple distinct topics. In the context of Microsoft Azure, it refers to the Cobalt 100, Microsoft's first fully custom Arm-based CPU powering new Azure virtual machines for improved performance and efficiency. Separately, 'cobalt' appears in discussions about Ashlar-Vellum's Cobalt CAD software, which has critical memory corruption vulnerabilities. The tag also relates to Microsoft's broader AI and cloud infrastructure strategies, including Copilot Studio for agentic AI and the use of third-party GPUs for Azure growth. These threads highlight security, hardware innovation, and enterprise AI transformation.
Microsoft’s latest push to make AI not just a productivity feature but an operational platform rests on a simple premise: if agents are going to do real work, enterprises need a managed, auditable, and governable place to build, test, run and secure them — and Copilot Studio is that place...
Microsoft’s decision to lease billions in third‑party GPUs rather than wait for its own silicon to arrive is a deliberate, high‑stakes move to keep Azure at the center of the AI economy—even if it means compressing near‑term cloud margins and increasing capital intensity across the balance...
A critical CISA advisory warns that multiple Ashlar‑Vellum desktop CAD products — including Cobalt, Xenon, Argon, Lithium and the Cobalt Share collaboration app — contain serious file‑parsing memory‑corruption flaws that can lead to arbitrary code execution; the advisory lists a CVSS v4 base...
In a significant development for cloud computing, Microsoft has announced the general availability of its latest Azure Cobalt 100-based Virtual Machines (VMs), which are built on Azure's first fully custom Arm-based CPU, the Cobalt 100. This new generation of virtual machines marks a milestone...
