Microsoft is actively enhancing its Copilot service with regular updates, introducing new features and improvements. Recent updates, as of March 19, 2025, include Copilot Vision which is now available on Android devices for Pro subscribers in the United States, allowing users to leverage their phone's camera for assistance. Copilot Vision access in Edge has expanded to all free users in the U.S., enabling the AI to scan, analyze, and provide insights from webpages. Additionally, the "Think Deeper" reasoning model has been upgraded to OpenAI's o3-mini (high), leading to faster and more flexible responses to complex questions.
Microsoft is also making strides in AI research and security. Microsoft Research has developed a more efficient method for incorporating external knowledge into language models, called KBLaM, which uses vector pairs woven directly into the model's architecture. This system offers faster and more efficient responses by processing knowledge directly within the model. Furthermore, Microsoft is expanding its Security Copilot service with new AI agents designed to help IT teams manage increasing security threats, with 11 agents being added in an April preview, designed to improve security outcomes at machine speed and scale.
