Highlights to Watch from Microsoft Build 2025

• Copilot Gets an Upgrade – Now with Agent Capabilities

There are also rumors that Microsoft is testing AI models from other companies like xAI, Meta, Anthropic, and DeepSeek as alternatives to OpenAI, amidst growing tensions in their partnership.

• Introducing Microsoft’s Own AI Model: MAI

Microsoft is quietly developing its own AI model, MAI (Microsoft AI), which is said to be comparable in performance to OpenAI’s models. It might be available via API in the future — a strategic move to strengthen Microsoft’s independence in the AI space.

• New Features in Windows and Copilot on PC

Insider information from TestingCatalog reveals that a new "Action" button is being added to Copilot on Windows. This button will let users more easily perform daily tasks, like opening emails, writing documents, or setting reminders.

• Next-Gen AI Chip: Azure Maia 2

Microsoft is expected to unveil the Azure Maia 2, the successor to the Maia 100 AI accelerator chip for Azure. Reportedly manufactured by Marvell, this chip is designed to significantly boost processing power specifically for AI workloads.
