Key takeaways:

  • Microsoft launched Windows AI Foundry, a rebrand and expansion of Windows Copilot Runtime, to help developers build AI-powered apps more easily on Windows.
  • Windows AI Foundry offers a unified platform to fine-tune, optimize, and deploy AI models locally on Windows devices.
  • A key feature, Foundry Local, allows developers to run AI models directly on devices (Windows and macOS), using ONNX Runtime.
  • The platform auto-detects a device’s CPU, GPU, and NPU and fetches compatible AI tools and models, keeping them updated.
  • Developers can use a command-line interface (CLI) with commands like foundry model list/run and integrate Foundry Local via its SDK.
