Microsoft’s Build developer conference kicked off today<\/a>, and as with almost everything the company has done in the last few years, Microsoft’s opening keynote focused overwhelmingly on AI and other closely related technologies. There’s Microsoft Scout<\/a>, an OpenClaw-based “Autopilot” agent that can hook into Microsoft 365 data to perform tasks for users; several new AI models<\/a>; an expanded preview of “Codename MDASH<\/a>,” which is a “multi-model agentic scanning system” meant to detect and fix software vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n

A few of those announcements stood out to us as particularly interesting, either for esoteric technical reasons or because they seem like they may have some utility who aren’t spending their every waking moment using generative AI tools. (Microsoft’s recent efforts<\/a> to make its flagship operating system faster, more reliable, more useful, and less annoying didn’t really come up, but there have been plenty<\/a> of other announcements<\/a> on that front lately<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

On the hardware front, we didn’t get any updates for existing Surface devices (not counting yesterday’s Surface Laptop Ultra announcement), but we did get something new: the Surface RTX Spark Dev Box is “a compact developer PC” built around Nvidia’s new RTX Spark chip with up to 128GB of built-in memory.<\/p>\n
