Microsoft is making significant strides in AI innovation, with a focus on both experimental and practical applications. One notable project unveiled at Build 2025 is Project Amelie, an experimental AI agent designed to autonomously build machine learning pipelines from a single prompt. Powered by Microsoft Research's RD agent, Amelie aims to automate and optimize research and development processes in machine learning, potentially eliminating manual setup work typically handled by data scientists. Early testing has shown promising results, with Project Amelie outperforming current state-of-the-art benchmarks on MLE-Bench.
Microsoft is also applying AI to solve real-world problems in healthcare and weather forecasting. They have unveiled an AI-powered orchestration system available through the Azure AI Foundry Agent Catalog to streamline cancer care planning, which brings together specialized AI agents to assist clinicians with analyzing multimodal medical data from imaging and genomics to clinical notes and pathology. This system aims to automate parts of the tumor board process, making personalized treatment plans more accessible. In weather forecasting, Microsoft's latest AI model, Aurora, is able to provide detailed and accurate 10-day forecasts in seconds.
In addition to these innovations, Microsoft is advancing its Windows AI strategy with native support for Model Context Protocol (MCP) on Windows 11 and the introduction of Windows AI Foundry. The MCP integration will bring Anthropic's protocol to Windows 11, enabling AI agents to connect with native apps, system services, and external tools. With its Windows AI Foundry, developers can fine-tune and run AI models directly on Windows PCs. These efforts aim to build a secure agentic future on Windows, fostering the development of AI agents within the Windows ecosystem.
