Microsoft (MSFT, Financial) has unveiled its new Mu language model, designed for localized operation on personal computers. This AI tool is integrated into the Windows system's "Settings" feature, using natural language processing to convert user input into system commands. Currently available for testing in the Windows developer preview with Copilot+ features, it promises enhanced user interaction.
The Mu model is optimized for hardware, offloading tasks to the neural processing unit (NPU), achieving a response speed of over 100 tokens per second. For training, Microsoft utilized NVIDIA's (NVDA) A100 data center GPUs and the Azure machine learning platform for algorithm optimization.
To maximize device performance, Microsoft collaborated with AMD (AMD), Intel (INTC), and Qualcomm (QCOM) to develop customized computation solutions for different NPU architectures. This cross-industry strategy ensures compatibility across devices and improves energy efficiency through hardware acceleration.
Following the launch, Microsoft's stock saw a slight increase of 0.44%, reaching $488.13 per share, reflecting positive market reactions to its advancements in AI technology for PCs.
