Microsoft Build: Seven in-house AI models, GitHub Copilot desktop agent manager, and Web IQ search API for agents

Microsoft announced seven new AI models trained from scratch (not distilled from OpenAI), including the flagship MAI-Thinking-1 reasoning model and MAI-Transcribe-1.5, plus a 'Frontier Tuning' reinforcement learning approach for enterprise workflow training. GitHub released a desktop Copilot app designed to manage multiple parallel AI agents with isolated git worktrees and bidirectional canvases. Microsoft also launched Web IQ, an agent-native Bing-powered grounding API already powering search in Copilot and ChatGPT, running 2.5x faster than alternatives with lower token costs. The roundup also covers Nous Research's Hermes Desktop cross-platform agent app, Alibaba's Qwen3.7-Plus multimodal model, and OpenAI's role-specific Codex plugins.
