The AI integrated into Microsoft Windows 11 24H2 comes with the built-in Copilot in the Edge browser.
I tried making a few images with this feature. It may not be as open as domestic alternatives, but at least it is free.

Check out these images; Microsoft is quite intelligent, and they look pleasing.
Microsoft Copilot: The “Super Brain” of the Office World, Making Work as Easy as Eating Chips
Hey, office buddies! Today, let’s talk about Microsoft’s magical little creature—Copilot!
Imagine you’re sitting at your desk, facing a pile of documents and tasks, your head feeling as big as a watermelon. At this moment, Microsoft Copilot swoops in like a superhero, waving its hand and shouting, “Don’t worry, I’m here!”
This Copilot is simply the “super brain” of the office world. It’s like a knowledgeable, all-knowing butler; whether it’s handling documents, analyzing data, or scheduling, it’s a piece of cake for it.
Take writing documents, for example. Writing used to be a painful process, feeling like squeezing toothpaste, struggling to get a single sentence out. Now, with Copilot, you just wave your hand and say, “Hey, help me make this report look nice!” Soon, a well-organized, content-rich report is freshly baked! Moreover, the content it writes is particularly considerate, as if it knows what you’re thinking. If you use an incorrect term, it will gently remind you, “Hey, watch out! The wording here isn’t quite right. Would you like me to suggest a better one?”
Now let’s talk about data analysis. Those dense data used to look like a bunch of mischievous little ants, all jumbled up, making it impossible to see any patterns. But Copilot isn’t afraid; it’s like a data detective that dives right into the data pile, flipping it upside down, and clearly telling you, “Hey, there are quite a few secrets hidden in this data! Look, there’s a small trend here, and a big change over there…” With it, data analysis is no longer a headache but rather like reading an exciting detective novel, full of fun and surprises.
And as for scheduling, sometimes when your work schedule is too packed, you feel like a spinning top, ready to “take off” at any moment. Copilot acts like your personal secretary, helping you organize your schedule neatly. You tell it, “I’m a bit busy right now; can you help me schedule the rest of my time?” It will create a perfect timetable based on your tasks and preferences, making you feel like a time management master, easily tackling various challenges.
Sometimes, Copilot even jokes with you, making you smile. For instance, if you input a vague question, it might cheekily respond, “Oh, that question seems a bit greedy! But no worries, I’m smart; I’ll answer it right away!”
In team collaboration, Copilot also plays a crucial role. It acts as a super communication bridge, making interactions among team members smoother. No matter where you are, with Copilot’s assistance, it feels like everyone is sitting in the same meeting room, communicating without barriers.
However, don’t forget that Copilot isn’t omnipotent! It’s like a clever partner, but ultimately, we still have to do the actual work and make decisions ourselves. But with its help, work truly becomes as easy and enjoyable as eating chips!
In the future office world, with Microsoft Copilot as the “super brain,” the possibilities are truly endless. Let’s look forward to its remarkable performance in more fields!
On December 18th, news from the Financial Times reported that market research firm Omdia’s latest study shows that as Microsoft increases its investment in AI infrastructure, it has purchased approximately 485,000 NVIDIA “Hopper” architecture GPU chips this year, more than double that of the second largest buyer, Meta (224,000 Hopper chips), leaving Amazon and Google far behind.
In the past two years, with the explosion of generative AI represented by ChatGPT, NVIDIA’s cutting-edge AI GPU production capacity has been in high demand, and Microsoft is eager to acquire more AI chips to gain an advantage in the race to build the next generation of AI systems. There are many competitors in this market, including Microsoft’s own investment in OpenAI, as well as Meta, Google, Anthropic, Elon Musk’s xAI, and numerous competitors from the Chinese market.
Omdia estimates that based on publicly disclosed capital expenditures, server shipments, and supply chain intelligence, China’s ByteDance and Tencent have ordered about 230,000 NVIDIA chips this year, including the H20 model, which is a lower-end version of Hopper, modified to meet U.S. export controls for Chinese customers.
Additionally, it is expected that in 2024, Amazon and Google will purchase 196,000 and 169,000 NVIDIA Hopper chips, respectively. However, analysts also state that Amazon and Google are also accelerating the deployment of their custom AI chips as alternatives to NVIDIA’s AI chips.
