Microsoft to unveil new AI models and Windows improvements at Build

Key points

• Microsoft is heading to San Francisco this week in a bid to win back developers at its Build conference.
• I’ve been attending Build since the days when Microsoft called it the Professional Developers Conference, and I can’t remember a more pivotal moment.
• As Microsoft continues to reshuffle its entire business around AI, it’s moving Build into a smaller, more intimate venue.
• Trust in Windows and GitHub is at an all-time low, and this is Microsoft’s chance to reconnect with developers and outline the future.
• Sources tell me that we’ll hear about new AI models in Windows, a new reasoning model from Microsoft AI, and a Copilot “super app.” But perhaps more importantly for Build attendees, I understand that Microsoft will be revealing more about its work on improving the experience of Windows for developers.
