Microsoft has developed a new compact AI model called Mu that can automatically adjust Windows 11 settings based on user needs, according to Windows Central citing internal sources.

↑ Mu's Capabilities

Mu is a lightweight neural network that operates locally on devices without requiring constant cloud connectivity. It analyzes user behavior and optimizes:

• System settings (power consumption, performance, notifications)

• Background processes (management of resource-intensive applications)

• Personalization (theme selection, operating modes, privacy settings)

Unlike large cloud-based AI systems like Copilot, Mu operates quickly and doesn't require significant computational power.

↑ Strategic Importance

Microsoft is betting on hybrid AI - a combination of cloud and local models. While Mu may become a key component of Windows 12, it's currently being tested in Windows 11.

↑ Availability

Microsoft hasn't officially announced Mu yet, but insider reports suggest the first features based on this technology may appear in upcoming OS updates.
