Microsoft used Build 2026 in San Francisco to recast Windows AI around local models, GPU acceleration, and software agents rather than the Copilot+ PC hardware brand it introduced in 2024. That is not a quiet branding adjustment; it is a strategic retreat from the idea that Windows’ AI future...
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...
