Microsoft is making significant advancements in artificial intelligence, focusing on improved reasoning in language models and enhanced weather forecasting capabilities. New methods are being developed to boost reasoning in both small and large language models, combining symbolic logic, mathematical rigor, and adaptive planning. These techniques are designed to enable AI models to tackle complex, real-world problems across various fields, potentially transforming AI into a more reliable partner in domains like scientific research and healthcare.

A new AI model named Aurora, developed by Microsoft, can forecast hurricanes and sandstorms up to 5,000 times faster than conventional weather models powered by supercomputers. Aurora outperformed existing systems in predicting weather conditions over a 14-day period in 91% of cases. The model is trained on over 1 million hours of global atmospheric data, including weather station readings, satellite images, and radar measurements, representing one of the largest datasets used to train a weather AI model.

To address the growing demand for data control in Europe, Microsoft is expanding its Sovereign Cloud offerings. This includes solutions that ensure European data remains within Europe, handled exclusively by Microsoft employees based in the region. The Sovereign Public Cloud offers tools and options for customer-controlled encryption and simplified configurations, providing organizations in Europe with greater control over their data. The cloud is offered across all existing European data center regions.
