Microsoft to release new Surface, no cloud required, aimed at AI developers.

Microsoft will hold a special event in San Francisco on October 7 and is keeping quiet about the meeting agenda. Microsoft confirmed that the agenda includes content related to Windows, RTXSpark, and Surface, but has not yet announced specific details. This is Microsoft's first event dedicated to Windows and Surface since the 2024 Copilot+ PC launch event. The core content of this keynote will revolve around the capabilities of the Surface Laptop Ultra and RTX Spark: the two can run a 120-billion-parameter large model locally, enabling on-device AI experiences and agent workflows without relying on cloud computing power throughout the process. The laptop is mainly aimed at AI developers and content creators, and is adapted for high-frequency professional software such as Premiere Pro and Blender.
