Then the largest operating system vendor on the planet described a laptop as a hybrid of local and cloud AI, which is the clearest signal yet about what your next machine is for.
Inside the episode:
🔴 A Surface Laptop Ultra at $2,599 with up to 128GB of memory, and a desktop version at $5,999
🔴 A claim it can run models above 120 billion parameters locally, with speed tests still to come from independent reviewers
🔴 Over 40% of business laptops being built described as Copilot plus machines, and more than 2 trillion local inferences a month, both vendor figures with no published method
🔴 Execution Containers now generally available, letting you define which files and networks an agent may reach while it runs
🔴 The blind test: four to six real tasks, model names hidden, scored one to five
Local AI is a promise of privacy. The promise is kept by the rules you write. 🎙️
