Windows 11 Search Upgrade, Copilot Gets File Access

Microsoft announced two upcoming updates for Windows 11: an enhanced search feature and expanded Copilot capabilities. The new search allows users to directly adjust settings like dark mode, take screenshots, and change volume from the search bar, with future ability to compose and send messages. Copilot's 'Hybrid Intelligence' feature, introduced at a Microsoft event, enables the AI to access local files and perform actions across the OS, such as finding, renaming, zipping documents, and attaching them to emails. Jacob Andreou, EVP of Copilot, demonstrated this in a tax return example. The rollout will be gradual, requiring user permission for file access. The search upgrade is expected later this year, with no exact date specified.

OpenAI Expert: Optimize Token Efficiency for AI Agents

In an interview with t3n, Maximilian Hudlberger, Applied AI Engineer at OpenAI, explains that despite decreasing token prices, companies' AI costs can rise significantly, especially with the increasing use of AI agents. He argues that the true measure of cost-effectiveness is not the price per token, but rather the number of tasks completed with a given budget. Unnecessary costs often arise from using the most powerful model for every task, when simpler models would suffice. Businesses should therefore think in terms of completed tasks and optimize their model selection for economic efficiency. The article highlights that the growing deployment of AI agents in enterprise workflows is driving up token consumption, making cost management a critical business factor.
