With Azure Maia, a custom AI processor, and Azure Cobalt, an Arm-powered CPU, Microsoft is venturing into the customised silicon space. Designed to power Azure data centres, these chips are scheduled to launch in 2024. This is a calculated step towards reducing reliance on Nvidia and getting ready for an AI-run future.
2. Loop
Microsoft officially released Loop, a Notion-like work and collaboration software. Loop strives to enable smooth user cooperation with customizable workplaces and pages. It is a prominent rival in the productivity and collaboration market because of how much its user interface resembles Notion.

5. Decorate your background
Two AI-powered enhancements that improve webcam and audio quality are coming to Microsoft Teams.
