  • Summary

  • The rollout of Windows 11 version 24H2 introduces a range of AI-powered features, such as enhanced Energy Saver, improved Bluetooth LE audio support, and Wi-Fi 7 compatibility. Notably, Microsoft has integrated Rust into the Windows kernel and introduced new functionalities for its CoPilot AI, which now includes natural voice interaction and daily news summarization. However, the update also marks the end of support for Windows Mixed Reality headsets, as Microsoft shifts its focus away from hardware in the mixed reality space.Host Dave Sobel highlights Microsoft's decision to cease production of the HoloLens 2 and its partnership with Meta, indicating a strategic pivot towards software integration with Meta's Quest headsets. This move reflects a broader trend in the tech industry, where companies are increasingly prioritizing AI-driven productivity tools. Sobel emphasizes the importance of data management for businesses looking to leverage these new AI capabilities effectively, suggesting that many customers may not be prepared to utilize these tools without a solid data foundation.The episode also covers OpenAI's introduction of a public beta for its Realtime API, which allows developers to create applications that facilitate natural conversations with AI chatbots. This new API supports low-latency, multimodal features, enhancing voice interactions and enabling seamless communication across languages. Additionally, Liquid AI has launched its Liquid Foundation Models, which are non-transformer AI models designed for improved performance and memory efficiency, potentially lowering infrastructure costs for clients running large-scale AI applications.Finally, Sobel discusses Kaseya's commitment to achieving FedRAMP authorization for its ITComplete platform, which aims to support managed service providers (MSPs) with compliance requirements. This initiative is particularly significant as it addresses the growing need for compliance in government contracts. The episode concludes with a call for IT solution providers to participate in Service Leadership's annual compensation survey, which aims to provide insights into compensation trends and help organizations optimize their recruitment strategies.
