Together with Activision Blizzard, we will usher in a new era of gaming that puts players and creators first and makes gaming safe, inclusive, and accessible to all.

The rate of diffusion of this next generation of AI is unlike anything we've seen, but even more remarkable is the sense of empowerment it has already unlocked in every corner of the world, including rural India.

Microsoft + GitHub = Empowering Developers

Today's Supreme Court decision is an important milestone in the hard-fought journey for equal treatment for LGBTQI+ people in the workplace, building on the foundation set by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. As the court noted in its majority opinion, “Sometimes small gestures can have unexpected consequences. Major initiatives practically guarantee them. In our time, few pieces of federal legislation rank in significance with the Civil Rights Act of 1964.” While there is much more to do to achieve equal rights and inclusion, let’s use this decision as a catalyst to drive progress in our society.

With today’s Surface announcements, we are reimagining every layer of the tech stack – from how we infuse AI from the silicon up, to device form factors and the role of operating systems – to put people at the center and empower them to create the world we want to live in.

I’m inspired by the ingenuity of Mikayla Sharrieff, India Skinner and Bria Snell. We’d love to welcome you to Microsoft to join our annual Hackathon in July.

It’s been a busy few weeks – between today’s earnings and some of our recent announcements. Here are a few things I wanted to highlight:

We are riding multiple compounding S curves in pre-training, inference time, and systems design, driving model performance that is doubling every 6 months.

Azure is the infrastructure layer for AI, optimized across every layer: DCs, silicon, systems software, and models to lower costs and increase performance. We are delivering more performance per megawatt, lower cost per token, and faster dock-to-live times.

Frontier firms are incorporating AI into everyday workflows, transforming work and work artifacts. Microsoft 365 Copilot is now being used by hundreds of thousands of customers across industries, up 3X year-over-year.

I’m especially excited about our new Researcher and Analyst agents, like having a highly trained expert on call 24/7.

And our customers have created over 1 million agents of their own using SharePoint and Copilot Studio.

On the consumer side: Our ad revenue surpassed $20 billion over the past year. Only at Microsoft could that almost get overlooked!

LinkedIn continues to grow fast, with double-digit membership gains. And we again took share across Bing and Edge. And we are building daily engagement and successful sessions with our Copilot app, which got a big update earlier this month.

And, yes, blocks can be stars: Minecraft weekly active users jumped 75% year-over-year after the movie release.

To date, we’ve helped more than 30 million job seekers gain digital skills for in-demand jobs, and today we’re expanding our global skills initiative, introducing new tools, features, and courses as we work to unlock economic opportunity for everyone.

In many ways, manufacturing has been one of the earliest industries to adopt technology. Some of our earliest systems of Information Technology were driven by the needs of manufacturers. So it’s particularly exciting to see how we're reaching an inflection point with Industry 4.0 as manufacturers harness digital technology – from IoT to Mixed Reality to AI and the cloud to transform all. This is on display at Hannover Messe this week and Tetra Paks is just one example of a company that’s building new systems of intelligence to optimize operations and deliver food and drink products safely to their customers.

Proud of this work to improve disability representation in the datasets used to train AI. Our new collaboration will broaden the diversity of AI data, and help make AI more useful for the blind and low vision community.

We’re continuing to make Copilot even more helpful in the everyday flow of work. Teams Mode lets groups co‑create with Copilot in a Teams chat. Watch how it works:

Democratizing AI for every person and every organization

Super excited about GPT-5.2 from our partners at OpenAI. Making it natively part of the Microsoft tools people use every day along with your work data helps all the new model capabilities shine.

The pace of progress continues to accelerate. GPT‑5.2 brings together GPT-5.2 Thinking—built for solving harder problems, long-context reasoning, coding, spreadsheets, and presentations; and GPT-5.2 Instant—an efficient model for everyday writing, translation, and skill-building. 

• GPT-5.2 with Work IQ is great for unlocking insights, market research, and strategic planning —reasoning across your meetings, emails, and docs. Starting today, you can select GPT-5.2 in the model picker in M365 Copilot.

• In GitHub Copilot, GPT-5.2 is a fantastic multi-purpose model, especially when it comes to long-context and reasoning when coding or investigating a complex code base. Also available today.

• We’re also bringing GPT-5.2 models to Microsoft Foundry and Copilot Studio, and starting rollout in our Copilot consumer experience.

Ultimately, for us this is all about model choice for all of our customers and with auto, you can rely on Copilot to pick the right model for the job at hand. I’m looking forward to what customers are able to achieve with this new capability.

Stories like these of Hidayah, Hasyiya, Jidapa, Saran, and Shelin remind us of the importance of ensuring everyone has access to digital skills. And it’s why we’ll equip 2.5 million people across Southeast Asia with AI skills by 2025.

Indigenous Heritage Month is an important opportunity for each of us to learn, as we aspire to uplift and preserve the cultures of Indigenous people around the world. Thank you Steven Worrall for sharing this reflection.
