Microsoft’s CoreAI – Platforms and Tools division aims to build “the end-to-end Copilot and AI stack for both [its] first-party and third-party customers to build and run AI apps and agents” for customers.
Microsoft has launched a new engineering organisation for its artificial intelligence operations.
CoreAI – Platform and Tools division sets out a mission to build “the end-to-end Copilot and AI stack for both [its] first-party and third-party customers to build and run AI apps and agents” for customers.
It will see the Dev Div, AI Platform, and some key teams from the Office of the CTO – AI Supercomputer, AI Agentic Runtimes, and Engineering Thrive – come together.
The group – led by former Meta engineering chief Jay Parikh – will also “build out GitHub Copilot, thus having a tight feedback loop between the leading AI-first product and the AI platform to motivate the stack and its roadmap”.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed the new team’s vision in a blog post on Monday (13.01.25) and acknowledged that the American technology titan is “entering the next innings of this AI platform shift” and how 2025 will be about “model-forward applications that reshape all application categories”.
He believes “thirty years of change is being compressed into three years”.
Mr. Nadella added: “Our success in this next phase will be determined by having the best AI platform, tools, and infrastructure.
“We have a lot of work to do and a tremendous opportunity ahead, and together, I’m looking forward to building what comes next.”
