Microsoft has made Windows ML generally available, delivering a built-in, on-device AI inference runtime for Windows 11 that aims to let developers run ONNX models across CPUs, GPUs and NPUs without requiring cloud trips for every inference. Background: why this release matters Windows ML...

Microsoft’s push to make on-device AI a first-class citizen on Windows hit a significant milestone with the general availability of Windows ML, a system-managed inferencing runtime designed to make it dramatically easier for developers to ship AI features that run efficiently across CPUs, GPUs...

Microsoft has opened the door for AI features to run natively across Windows PCs with the general availability of Windows ML, a system-managed ONNX Runtime and hardware abstraction layer that lets developers ship AI-enabled apps without bundling vendor runtimes or hand-tuning builds for every...

Microsoft’s Windows ML platform has moved out of preview and into general availability, positioning Windows 11 as a mainstream host for local, on-device AI inference and giving developers a managed, system-level inference runtime that automatically leverages the best silicon on a PC — CPU, GPU...

Windows ML’s arrival in general availability marks a major inflection point for on-device AI on Windows: Microsoft is shipping a system-managed, ONNX Runtime–based inference runtime that abstracts diverse PC silicon, automates vendor execution-provider distribution, and is positioned as the...

Microsoft’s push to make on-device AI a first-class citizen on Windows reached a major milestone this week: Windows ML is now generally available for developers, delivering a production-ready inference runtime, a managed execution-provider ecosystem, and a set of developer tools designed to make...

Microsoft has quietly published KB5067990, delivering the Intel OpenVINO Execution Provider AI component update (version 1.8.15.0) to Copilot+ PCs running Windows 11, version 24H2 — the package installs automatically through Windows Update once the latest 24H2 cumulative update is present and...

Microsoft has quietly issued KB5068004 — an update that delivers Nvidia TensorRT RTX Execution Provider version 1.8.14.0 as a Windows component for Copilot+ RTX PCs running Windows 11, version 24H2. The bulletin is deliberately short: the package “includes improvements to the execution provider...

Microsoft quietly pushed an incremental AI component update — KB5067994 — that advances the QNN Execution Provider used by ONNX Runtime to version 1.8.13.0 for qualifying Qualcomm-powered Copilot+ PCs, and it follows the same per‑silicon, componentized delivery pattern Microsoft has used for...

Microsoft’s Copilot is moving from meeting rooms to locker rooms, as a renewed NFL partnership elevates Windows-powered tools from simple sideline devices to full-blown, AI-augmented decision systems that promise faster insights, richer scouting, and—most provocatively—assistive playcalling...

Microsoft appears to be steering Windows back toward an annual, generational-style release cadence after a period of smaller, incremental feature updates — driven largely by a planned AI-first platform internally codenamed Hudson Valley and built on a new base called Germanium. Multiple industry...

As the spotlight on artificial intelligence grows ever brighter, Microsoft’s AI strategy for Windows takes a significant step forward with the release of KB5061856: the Phi Silica AI component update (version 1.2505.838.0) for Qualcomm-powered systems. This highly anticipated update, a...

The annual Build 2025 conference marked a pivotal moment in Microsoft’s evolving AI strategy for Windows. At the heart of the announcements was a commitment to transform Windows into a seamlessly AI-integrated ecosystem, with a particular focus on democratizing access to the machine learning...

Cloud computing and the personal computing landscape are undergoing a tectonic shift, fueled by new demands for AI at scale, energy efficiency, and seamless developer experiences across cloud and endpoint devices. At the heart of this paradigm is the deepening partnership between Arm and...

The landscape of artificial intelligence on Windows has changed dramatically, bringing machine learning out of the realm of cloud-centric workflows and into the daily experience of devices everywhere. Microsoft’s unveiling of Windows ML—a cutting-edge runtime built for local on-device model...

Artificial intelligence has finally come home to Windows in a way that feels cohesive, developer-friendly, and truly native—not merely bolted on as an afterthought. Microsoft’s aggressive campaign to transform Windows into the best platform for AI development is shaking up not just the operating...

The public preview of Windows ML marks a pivotal milestone in Microsoft’s longstanding pursuit of infusing artificial intelligence into the core of the Windows platform. As the AI arms race intensifies across the tech industry, Microsoft’s latest launch underscores a strategic pivot: empowering...
