Excited to see @perplexity_ai bring Portable Computer to @Windows! As AI workloads become more capable, Windows provides a powerful platform to run them locally, helping people at work while maintaining control over their data and their costs. You can get started today by downloading the Perplexity app from the Microsoft Store: apps.microsoft.com/detail/9p…
Portable Computer is now available on Windows PCs with @NVIDIA RTX GPUs. Run the harness, agents, and models locally on your PC. Work with local files and connected apps without sending tasks to the cloud. Use frontier cloud models when needed.

Our new AI Safety & Privacy Standard with the @AFTunion rests on three ideas.   Privacy. Student and educator data stays with students and educators. It will not train AI models, and it will not be sold.   Safety. Strong security, real safeguards, and human oversight wherever decisions carry weight.   Transparency and control. Clear information for families, and schools decide when and how AI shows up in the classroom. @Microsoft @MicrosoftEDU aka.ms/AA135w6l

Today, I stood with the American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten to announce the National AI Safety & Privacy Standard for Schools.  As outlined in our new agreement: "Children come first. Students are not products. Teachers are not beta testers. And schools are not a source for data collection or experiments." aka.ms/AA135w6l @AFTunion @MicrosoftEDU @Microsoft
