At Bing, we are always pushing the boundaries of search technology. Leveraging both Large Language Models (LLMs) and Small Language Models (SLMs) marks a significant milestone in enhancing our search capabilities. One of the key challenges with larger models is managing latency and cost. To address this, we have integrated Nvidia TensorRT-LLM technique into our workflow to optimize our SLM inference performance.   ..read more

The new Climate Insights Engine by MSN Weather leverages up to 70 years of detailed historical weather data to track temperature, precipitation, humidity, and wind across the globe.  This engine compares your local weather to historical trends to determine how unusual recent weather has been. When something out of the ordinary happens, the system will notify you to keep you informed about your local climate.   ..read more

Microsoft Start’s new AI forecast model capabilities have unlocked the ability for users around the globe to experience high-quality, up-to-the-minute forecasts and maps of both cloud and precipitation together while also filling in gaps for data availability.   ..read more

In a newly published article on ArXiv, the research team at Weather from Microsoft Start has shown how AI weather models compare to the latest state-of-the-art European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) extended-range ensemble. Instead of using a single type of AI model, we combine five different trained models comprised of three different deep learning architectures together to produce some promising forecasts one month in advance ..read more

The new Weather Trends page is a powerful feature which draws on up to 70 years of global weather history. It can help users learn how their recent weather compares with the past by year, month, or even by day. Historical averages and detailed records show how many rainy, snowy, cloudy, or sunny days there typically are this month, and visualization tools such as innovative new pie charts make it easier to understand and compare the data ..read more

Today’s search engines are powerful tools that help us find information on the web, but sometimes they fall short of our expectations. When we have complex, nuanced, or specific questions, we often struggle to find the answers we need. We ourselves know what we’re looking for, but the search engine just doesn’t seem to understand. That's why we created Deep Search, a new Microsoft Bing feature that provides even more relevant and comprehensive answers to the most complex search queries. Deep Search is not a replacement for Bing's existing web search, but an enhancement that offers the option ..read more

Today, in addition to celebrating the first year of Microsoft Copilot, we announced several new Copilot features that are beginning to roll out. We’re excited to give you a more detailed glimpse into some of these features. GPT-4 Turbo – Soon, Copilot will be able to generate responses using OpenAI's latest model, GPT-4 Turbo, enabling you to tackle more complex and longer tasks such as writing code and more. This model is currently in testing with select users and will be widely integrated into Copilot in the coming weeks. New DALL-E 3 Model – You can now use Copilot to create images tha ..read more

Today, the Turing team is excited to go into detail on how Turing Bletchley v3, a new multilingual vision-language foundation model, is used across Microsoft products. This model is the latest version of Turing Bletchley – our series of multilingual multimodal foundation models which understand more than 90 languages. About two years ago we introduced Turing Bletchley v1 to the world via our blog post. Turing Bletchley v1 was among the first multilingual vision-language models – importantly these allow performant image search in both popular and low-resource languages. Since then, we have iter ..read more

As we announced earlier this week, with Bing Image Creator you can now turn words into pictures to truly express your imagination, giving you access to infinite image possibilities right from within Bing. A vivid dream, a birthday invitation to fit a unique theme, the new concept you’re trying to land at work. These are personal and specific. These are things that require a unique image to express your unique idea. Even better is that you can ask for these pictures in the flow of your conversation with the new Bing chat.  Much like in my first blog about Building the New Bing, I’d ..read more
