The retreat is not an abandonment...

At Microsoft Build 2026, held this week in San Francisco, Microsoft shifted its Windows AI pitch away from the Copilot+ PC brand and toward local agents and models that can run across CPUs, GPUs, NPUs, and new Nvidia-powered developer hardware. That is not the death of AI on PCs; it is the...
