Lovely to see how deep Apple is taking spatial UI with its new "liquid glass" redesign. Feels like the next generation of the translucency + parallax effects introduced with iOS 7. The depth seems much more immersive now yet it's still a very measured move beyond the flat era.

Relevant primer before Satya Nadella's Microsoft Build keynote today. Very curious to see if Microsoft shows off any third-party (and non-OpenAI) model integrations or more in-house efforts on the "Pareto frontier" from @mustafasuleyman.
So why is Microsoft back to pouring resources into training its own large language models? When will it use them as versus OpenAI's? @AustinCarr and I spoke with Satya Nadella and Mustafa Suleyman on the philosophy behind MAI for @BW

When Dina started covering Microsoft in 1999, her first interview was with @satyanadella. Fittingly, 26 years later, her last interview on the $MSFT beat is with Satya, too. Congrats on an epic run of coverage, @dinabass.
2 years ago Microsoft set out to spin an early GenAI lead (courtesy of the OpenAI deal) into corporate & consumer AI gold. @AustinCarr & I take a look at how it's gone, how Satya is hedging bets, building new AI models & navigating changing OAI conditions
