The feature will consolidate AI-generated notes, action items, and recordings into a single, accessible location.
Microsoft is updating the new Outlook for Windows and web clients to improve how users organize and view their messages.

Meta is undergoing a significant transformation of its AI research and infrastructure to establish a new scaling ladder for its large language models. This initiative includes the creation of dedicated Superintelligence Labs focused on predictable scaling, where increased compute and data lead to measurable gains in capability. While the recent New Spark release served as a smaller-scale proof of concept, the company is currently training much larger frontier-tier models designed to compete with the industry's leading current offerings.
Corporate boards and financial officers are implementing stricter controls on artificial intelligence spending to combat rising operational costs. Most enterprises currently default to using the most expensive frontier models for all queries regardless of the task's actual complexity. This inefficient approach has led to significant budget overruns as companies pay premium rates for simple requests that cheaper alternatives could handle.

Microsoft is developing a native toggle for Windows 11 that allows users to completely disable Bing web results within the search interface.
