Microsoft Reportedly Tests Copilot+ AI Features on Discrete GPUs
Microsoft is reportedly exploring the implementation of Copilot+ AI features using discrete GPUs, moving beyond the reliance on Neural Processing Units (NPUs). This initiative aims to broaden access to Windows 11's local AI capabilities for a wider user base. The experimental functionality is available through the Windows App SDK, requiring a Windows Insider Experimental Channel build and developer mode to be activated.
Microsoft is reportedly conducting tests for its Copilot+ AI features by utilizing discrete GPUs, rather than the typically associated Neural Processing Units (NPUs).
This strategic shift could potentially allow a greater number of devices to access Windows AI functionalities. The move is expected to expand the overall user base that can leverage Windows 11's local AI capabilities.
Access to these experimental AI features is reportedly available through the Windows App SDK. Users interested in testing these capabilities would need to be on a Windows Insider Experimental Channel build and have Developer Mode enabled on their systems.
According to Tom's Hardware, this development suggests Microsoft is exploring diverse hardware avenues to deliver its AI experiences.
