Microsoft just introduced Magma, a new AI model designed to help robots see, understand and act more intelligently. Unlike traditional artificial intelligence models, Magma processes different types of data all at once – an effort Microsoft is calling a big leap toward "agentic AI," or systems that can plan and execute tasks on a user's behalf.

The newly-announced Magma is a multimodal AI enabling agentic tasks ranging from UI navigation to robotics manipulation.

Microsoft Corp. unveiled artificial intelligence tools that can create video-game scenes that would normally have to be programmed and animated by a human, a model it built using data collected from Xbox gamers and their controllers.

I reported in November that Microsoft was about to start a bigger effort to bring AI features to Xbox, and today, the company is unveiling what it’s calling a breakthrough in AI for gaming. Microsoft’s new Muse AI model could help Xbox developers create parts of games in the future,

Microsoft’s Muse is built on the World and Human Action Model (WHAM) and is intended to enhance developers’ creativity.
