Search AI Products and News

Microsoft recently updated its 365 Copilot with new features, including AI-powered enterprise search, a reasoning agent, and a new Copilot store. Some users have access to these features now, while others may need to wait until May. The AI-powered enterprise search is a particular highlight. Microsoft states that Copilot search combines search with the power of AI to deliver more relevant and context-aware search results. This is from the Vice President of Microsoft's design and research department.

According to recent reports from Wells Fargo and TD Cowen, Amazon has paused negotiations for some international data centers, primarily in Europe. This news follows reports of Microsoft pausing or canceling some of its own plans. Wells Fargo's report notes that the exact scope of the pause remains unclear, but the move mirrors recent actions by Microsoft – they are "digesting recent aggressive leasing." The report emphasizes that Microsoft appears to be still moving forward with deals already signed.

Cohere recently launched two new models, Command A and Embed 4, on the Microsoft Azure AI Foundry platform. These models significantly enhance enterprise-grade Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and agent AI workflows. Designed for production readiness and ease of development, they are broadly applicable to intelligent document Q&A, enterprise Copilots, and scalable search applications. Command A: A High-Efficiency Engine for Agent AI Command A is a...

Amidst the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Microsoft is actively promoting AI literacy with its 50-day AI Skills Festival. This event is open to everyone, from beginners to professionals, offering free registration and access to a wealth of AI learning resources. The initiative aims not only to enhance public AI capabilities but also to break a Guinness World Record, making it a fun and practical event. AI is transforming the way various industries operate, particularly in daily office work. Microsoft hopes to...

Microsoft recently unveiled a remarkable research project – WHAMM (World and Human Action MaskGIT Model). This innovative AI model can generate and run the classic game Quake II entirely within the AI model, producing a playable version in real-time. This research, part of Microsoft's Copilot Labs, explores the potential and boundaries of generative AI in interactive media. A revolutionary breakthrough.

According to foreign media reports, Microsoft's Chief Technology Officer, Kevin Scott, has boldly predicted that by 2030, as much as 95% of programming code will be generated by artificial intelligence. However, he clarified that this doesn't signify the end of human involvement in software engineering. Scott explained that this doesn't mean AI is doing the software engineering work; the authors will still be human. It creates another layer of abstraction, as we transition from 'input masters' (programming languages) to 'prompt masters' (AI coordinators).

Microsoft's Chief Technology Officer, Kevin Scott, highlighted the importance of product managers in training AI agents. According to him, product managers are not only central to product design and development, but also play a crucial role in creating 'feedback loops'. These feedback loops help AI agents continuously learn and improve their ability to perform tasks, better meeting user needs. Kevin Scott points out that the effectiveness of AI systems is heavily reliant on human feedback. Product managers are integral to this process.

OpenAI is pursuing a massive $400 billion funding round, led by Japan's SoftBank, with a crucial condition: OpenAI must transition to a profitable company by the end of 2025. Success would propel the company's valuation to $300 billion, making it the reigning AI unicorn. However, securing this funding isn't guaranteed. Failure to meet the deadline would slash the funding to $200 billion.

Elon Musk's xAI is collaborating with Nvidia, Microsoft, and BlackRock to significantly increase investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure. This partnership aims to accelerate advancements and development in the field of AI.

In geoscience, geological maps are crucial tools for understanding the Earth's surface and subsurface structures. However, interpreting these complex diagrams requires specialized knowledge and extensive experience. To enhance intelligence in this field, Microsoft Research Asia recently introduced GeoMap-Bench, a new benchmark dataset for evaluating the performance of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) in understanding geological maps. The launch of GeoMap-Bench marks a significant step forward in AI applications for geological map interpretation. Microsoft researchers, in collaboration with...
