Microsoft launches Discovery platform that uses agentic AI to compress years of scientific research into days, transforming R&D across pharmaceuticals, materials science, and semiconductor industries.

Fabric is being transformed as a decision infrastructure layer to support faster decision making and easier development of agentic applications, analysts say.

GitHub has launched a powerful AI coding agent in Copilot that writes code, fixes bugs, and opens pull requests.

Microsoft is continuing to expand its fleet of AI partners, hedging its bets beyond its high-profile partnership with OpenAI — a change that’s coming into sharper focus this week at the company’s Build developer conference.

The GitHub Copilot for artificial intelligence programming will be more visible in GitHub. It will accept assignments just like any other coder on the team.

In addition, Windows AI Foundry will also support the large number of developers who are building their own LLMs. It said Windows ML will act as the built-in AI inference runtime to streamline model deployment across every CPU, GPU and NPU.

Microsoft said it will add an artificial intelligence coding agent from Google-backed startup Anthropic to its GitHub service.
