Microsoft is set to showcase major artificial intelligence and Windows developments at its Build conference in San Francisco this week. The company plans to introduce a new reasoning AI model called MAI-Thinking-1, along with MAI-Image-2.5 and MAI-Image-2.5-Flash. Build will also feature details on a forthcoming Copilot “super app” that unifies Microsoft’s various AI assistants into a single interface. Additionally, Microsoft will present a new Windows 11 developer-optimized experience designed to provide a distraction-free environment with pre-installed tools and scripts.

The event comes as Microsoft seeks to rebuild trust among developers and GitHub users amid concerns about reliability and security. The company is also expected to discuss Windows performance improvements, adaptation to new silicon such as Nvidia’s RTX Spark, and ongoing collaboration with Qualcomm to enhance Windows on Arm. Build will highlight Microsoft’s focus on local AI models running directly on Windows, reducing reliance on cloud computing.

The conference begins Tuesday, June 2, and is seen as a pivotal moment for Microsoft as it reshapes its business strategy around AI and developer engagement.
