Here is the press release for the actual machine:

I have been somewhat surprised at the lack of commentators observing that this is Microsoft and above all NVIDIA launching a device that is fundamentally at odds with the metered cloud model of AI.

When you look at the other announcements and murmurings (better offline BYOK for Copilot, talk of an unmetered AI future) I think it’s clear that these two firms understand that cloud-only AI is not sustainable or inherently in their interests. But their willingness to undermine OpenAI with a product like this is notable.

Yeah, "unmetered intelligence" was probably the most used phrase at MS BUILD this past week. They are going hard into local AI

		I don't think you can interpret this as anything other than a sanctioned rebuke, right? Everyone has a strong visceral sense for what that means. Copilot just got proper "offline" BYOK support, didn't it? Presumably that was one of the things they were talking about. Though I imagine that has something to do with the fact that Zed has supported that properly for months.

Maybe. Or they are simply hedging their bets.
