We’re announcing how developers are building a new generation of AI agents, ones that go beyond chat to actually solve problems, automate tasks, and make decisions on your behalf. It’s all part of a bigger shift toward an open agentic web, where agents can work across apps, systems, and even entire businesses. Here’s a glimpse at what’s new: 🧠 AI agents with reasoning + memory 🛠️ New tools for building and orchestrating custom agents 🌐 Open protocols like MCP + NLWeb 👩💻 GitHub Copilot evolves into an asynchronous coding agent 📄 Microsoft 365 Copilot now supports multi-agent orchestration 🔐 Enterprise-grade security, observability + agent governance Learn more: https://msft.it/6000SjqZ0

Exciting datacenter news at Microsoft Build! This week at Microsoft Build, it was great to see our CEO Satya Nadella and Scott Guthrie (EVP of Cloud + AI) talk about our commitment to offer the lowest cost, highest-scale infrastructure for cloud and next-generation AI workloads as well as the innovations powering Microsoft Azure. 🔹 70+ Azure Regions: Microsoft now leads with over 70 Azure regions worldwide, expanding datacenter capacity and optimizing for AI. In the last three years, we’ve doubled datacenter capacity, and this year alone, we’ll add more capacity than any other year in history. 🔹 AI Optimized Datacenters: Our new AI datacenters run the most advanced AI supercomputers, enabling more intelligent AI models at lower costs. 🔹 Advanced AI Systems: Microsoft Azure was the first to bring online NVIDIA GB200s, the most advanced GPUs in the world, providing unparalleled AI training and inferencing platforms. 🔹 Networking: Our AI Datacenter operates as one contiguous interconnected cluster of hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200s, supported by a hyper-optimized network. 🔹 Liquid Cooling: Our AI systems use liquid cooling to efficiently manage heat, ensuring optimal performance and sustainability. These are highlights of the work being accomplished among our amazing teams at Microsoft. I want to give a huge thank you to every person who has worked tirelessly to make these advancements possible. It has truly been a OneMicrosoft effort! #MicrosoftBuild #Azure #AI #Innovation #Sustainability #TechLeadership #datacenters

GitHub Copilot now has a coding agent embedded right where you already collaborate with developers: on GitHub. And yes, you can access it from VS Code too. 🤖 When you assign one or more issues to Copilot, it responds with a 👀 reaction and spins up a secure sandbox using GitHub Actions. It clones the repo, configures the environment, and analyzes the codebase with RAG powered by GitHub code search. The coding agent can use local tools and MCP servers, configured by you. As the agent works, it regularly commits its changes to a draft pull request and updates the pull request’s description. It can only push to its own branch, while existing policies like branch protection still apply in exactly the way you’d expect. And of course, nothing goes out without human approval – because the human developer is always the one in control. Using state-of-the-art models, the agent excels at low-to-medium complexity tasks in well-tested codebases, from adding features and fixing bugs to extending tests, refactoring code, and improving documentation. This is all about keeping you in the magical flow state that inspired your love for coding in the first place ✨ Built around an integrated, secure and fully customizable development environment powered by GitHub Actions, the Copilot coding agent is amplifying human developers with trust by design. And these protections aren’t just for us: as the new home of AI agents, we’re making the same primitives available to partners to ensure an open ecosystem for agentic peer programming. https://lnkd.in/et-K4-S6

Today, at Microsoft Build we showed you how we are building the open agentic web. It is reshaping every layer of the stack, and our goal is simple: help every dev build apps and agents that empower people and orgs everywhere. Here are 5 big things we announced today: 1. Coding agent: We are taking GitHub Copilot from being a pair programmer to peer programmer. You now have a full coding agent built right into GitHub. You can assign it issues – whether it’s bug fixes, new features, or ongoing code maintenance. And it will complete these tasks autonomously. 2. Copilot tuning: Copilot can now learn your company’s unique tone and language. It is all about taking that expertise you have as a firm and further amplifying it so everyone has access. 3. Agent factory: Foundry is the complete app platform for building apps and agents. We are adding support for more models from Grok, Hugging Face, Meta, Mistral, and more. Plus: Agentic retrieval in Azure AI Search, Foundry Agent Service, integration with Copilot Studio, and more. And we are ensuring the tools you already use for identity, management, and security will now all extend to agents too. 4. NL Web: This is a new open project that lets you use natural language to interact with any website. Think of it like HTML for the agentic web. 5. Microsoft Discovery: We’re bringing together the full tech stack to help speed up science itself. Discovery uses agents to generate ideas, simulate results, and learn. A great example is this promising candidate for a coolant that doesn’t rely on forever chemicals. You can read more about all of this – and much more – here: https://lnkd.in/gik2mTNb
