Microsoft
⚡️ Microsoft debuts AI search for Windows 11 Copilot+ PCs

Microsoft has introduced an AI search experience for Windows 11 Copilot+ PCs. It leverages semantic indexing to enable natural language search capabilities, allowing users to find files and photos without the need to recall the filenames. For example, users can search for images by describing them like “bridge at sunset".

Insights for you:

• Microsoft is testing an AI-powered search feature for Windows 11, allowing semantic indexing to let users search for local files using more casual language.

• The feature applies whether you’re using search boxes in Settings, File Explorer, or the taskbar, without the need to be connected to the internet.

• AI Search is now available in a new developer channel built for Windows 11 Insider testers.

Snap
📱 Snap launches SnapGen AI to Create High-Res Images on Mobile

A team of researchers, including some from Snap Inc., the company behind Snapchat, has developed an AI image generator for phones. Their new system, called SnapGen, can create high-resolution images in just seconds.

Insights for you:

• Snap Inc. researchers have created SnapGen, an AI image generator capable of producing high-resolution images directly on high-end mobile phones.

• Despite having only 379 million parameters, making it approximately seven times smaller than well-known systems like SDXL, SnapGen surpasses them in image quality and generation speed, taking just 1.4 seconds to create a 1024×1024 pixel image on an iPhone 16 Pro Max.

• Significant efficiency gains were achieved by thoroughly redesigning the neural network architecture, removing unnecessary computations, and extensively optimizing the decoder responsible for converting the AI output into final images.
