Microsoft turns Windows into \'agent OS\', targets developers with local AI

Microsoft is speeding up work to turn Windows 11 into an operating system centered on AI agents. At a Windows and Surface event, it laid out a “hybrid intelligence” approach that supports free local models running on PCs instead of cloud models. It showcased GitHub Copilot coding without cloud token costs and strengthened Windows-Copilot integration. Surface Laptop Ultra, starting at $2,599, uses Nvidia’s RTX Spark chip to run large models locally.
