Microsoft Announces Over 50 Updates at Build 2024 Developer Conference

According to PANews, Microsoft held its Build 2024 Developer Conference in Seattle, USA, on May 22, where the tech giant announced more than 50 updates. These updates range from the construction of AI infrastructure to the implementation of model products. Noteworthy updates include Team Copilot, which transforms personal intelligent assistants into team assistants; Microsoft Fabric, a real-time intelligence that provides SaaS solutions; Azure AI, which brings new frontier models and multimodal functions; and the Cobalt chip, an updated self-developed AI chip. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella opened the conference by discussing Microsoft's two dreams for computers: one is to let computers understand us, rather than us understanding computers; the second is to let computers help us effectively reason, plan, and act in a world where information is constantly increasing. OpenAI CEO, Altman, revealed OpenAI's new model at the conference. He stated that the new modality and overall intelligence will be key to OpenAI's next model. He claimed that the model will become smarter, stronger, safer, and that GPT-4o will be faster and more cost-effective. Altman noted that the industry has not experienced a platform revolution for some time, but it is now undergoing such a period. He advised developers to take advantage of this, stating, 'Now is not the time to postpone plans or wait for the next opportunity. This is a special moment. In the next few years, many things will happen, and many great new things will begin to emerge.'
