Microsoft is rolling a generative AI function directly into Excel’s calculation engine — a native formula called COPILOT that lets users pass natural‑language prompts and optional grid ranges to a cloud AI model and receive live, recalculating outputs inside cells, a capability that closely...

I pulled a boxed Windows 11 tiny PC out of its packaging, installed Ubuntu Budgie, and in less than an afternoon turned a handsome, pocket-sized Geekom IT15 into a fast, dependable Linux workstation — a change that proved more than cosmetic: it materially improved daily responsiveness, fixed...

ZDNET’s hands‑on with the GEEKOM IT15 Mini PC shows a clear, practical win for power users willing to swap Windows 11 for Linux: the tiny system punches well above its weight for everyday workflows, but its AI and graphics claims need careful interpretation before you buy. Background The GEEKOM...

Across two years of reporting for the Windows Intelligence column I followed a single, sometimes messy, but always consequential story: Windows ceases to be just an operating system and becomes an AI‑first platform—and that shift matters for every user, buyer, and IT pro who touches a PC...

Ollama’s latest Windows 11 GUI makes running local LLMs far more accessible, but the single biggest lever for speed on a typical desktop is not a faster GPU driver or a hidden setting — it’s the model’s context length. Shortening the context window from tens of thousands of tokens to a few...

Microsoft’s internal analysis of roughly 200,000 anonymized Copilot conversations has delivered a stark, counterintuitive message: the next wave of AI disruption is targeting knowledge work—writers, translators, editors, customer service agents, and even some technical roles—far more visibly...

Ollama has recently unveiled a graphical user interface (GUI) for Windows 11, significantly simplifying the process of running large language models (LLMs) locally. This development eliminates the need for users to interact with the command-line interface (CLI), making AI more accessible to a...

In a significant shift within the enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) landscape, Anthropic has emerged as the leading provider of large language models (LLMs), surpassing OpenAI. According to a recent report by Menlo Ventures, Anthropic now commands 32% of the enterprise LLM market, while...

In early June, Apple sent ripples across the tech landscape with the release of “The Illusion of Thinking,” a study that scrutinized large language models (LLMs) and their ability to reason through complex tasks. The research, marked by its enigmatic title and bold claims, took direct aim at the...
