Microsoft: frontier models power Copilot Autopilots; Project Opal runs multi-hour jobs on Windows 365
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says new frontier models are being brought into Copilot so it can move from Q&A and delegated tasks to completing long-running Autopilot jobs over hours or days. Example: an Opal-powered Autopilot on a secure Windows 365 Cloud PC processes a month of trail-cam footage, finding animals, building highlight reels, labeling camera/date/species, cataloging in a spreadsheet, drafting a PowerPoint, and sharing in Teams.
Key Takeaways
- Capability: Copilot Autopilots own multi-hour/day end-to-end jobs, not just assistive Q&A.
- Runtime: Project Opal Autopilot runs on secure Windows 365 Cloud PCs.
- Demo: trail-cam pipeline covers find, reel, label, spreadsheet, PowerPoint, and Teams share.
