Microsoft brings more AI to PCs as it challenges Apple
On Wednesday Microsoft presented an AI coding model that can run directly on personal computers, along with new security technology. The move challenges Apple's push to put more AI into personal devices.
Microsoft revealed a new AI model for coding on Wednesday. Its notable feature is that it can run directly on personal computers rather than only on remote systems.
Alongside the model, the company introduced new security technology. It is designed to stop AI agents from reaching data without permission. This reflects growing attention to how programs that can carry out tasks on a user's behalf should be controlled.
Competition with Apple
The announcements are part of Microsoft's effort to strengthen the role of AI on personal devices. The report describes the step as a challenge to Apple, which is also working to bring more AI into its own devices.
The source does not give further details, such as the model's name, its technical specifications or when it will be available. How the new technologies will work in practice is therefore not yet clear.
