About this tag
The silicon strategy tag covers Microsoft's evolving approach to custom hardware and on-device AI processing, particularly in the context of Windows and Copilot. Discussions include Copilot Vision, a permissioned AI capability that can see app windows and provide contextual help, and the broader pivot toward Copilot+ on Arm and agentic Windows experiences. The tag also addresses Microsoft's push for self-sufficient AGI development through MAI Superintelligence, including custom silicon design, and the shifting partnership dynamics with OpenAI as both organizations pursue frontier AI capabilities. Recurring themes include hardware-first AI strategy, on-device intelligence, and the integration of custom silicon into Microsoft's long-term platform roadmap.
Microsoft is rolling Copilot Vision into Windows — a permissioned, session‑based capability that lets the Copilot app “see” one or two app windows or a shared desktop region and provide contextual, step‑by‑step help, highlights that point to UI elements, and multimodal responses (voice or typed)...
Paul Thurrott’s RunAsRadio appearance — recorded as episode #1016 — framed 2025 as a decisive, messy year for Windows: leadership changes, a renewed engineering re-unification, an aggressive hardware-first AI strategy, and renewed enthusiasm for Windows on Arm that together set the stage for a...
Microsoft’s legal leash is off: a renegotiated deal with OpenAI removes the contractual barrier that previously limited Microsoft’s ability to pursue frontier artificial general intelligence (AGI) development, and the company has immediately moved to stand up a dedicated superintelligence...
OpenAI’s recent decision to abandon a planned separation of its commercial arm—electing instead to keep the business under the oversight of its founding nonprofit board—has injected newfound uncertainties and complexities into its partnership with Microsoft, one of the tech industry’s most...
