Microsoft Corporation unveiled a small language model named Mu on June 23, designed for local operation on personal computers, particularly Copilot+ PCs. Mu is a 330 million parameter encoder-decoder language model optimized for deployment on Neural Processing Units (NPUs), allowing for quick responses with reduced power consumption and memory usage. It was pre-trained on a dataset of hundreds of billions of educational tokens and employs advanced fine-tuning techniques, including distillation and low-rank adaptation, along with transformer enhancements like Dual LayerNorm, Rotary Positional Embeddings, and Grouped-Query Attention. Users will access Mu's capabilities through the Windows operating system's Settings function, translating natural language inputs into system commands.

Google has introduced the Linux Terminal app with the Android 15 update, allowing users to run a Debian virtual machine on their smartphones. This feature utilizes the Android Virtualization Framework (AVF) to execute complex commands, run scripts, and manage storage, enhancing smartphone functionality. Activation is simple through developer options, making it accessible to all users. The Linux Terminal serves as a valuable tool for professionals and developers, enabling them to work efficiently on the go. Casual users can also benefit by running Linux-based applications directly on their devices. The upcoming Android 16 is expected to further enhance this experience with better support for external displays, positioning Android phones as central components of users' tech ecosystems.

RaspController is an application that allows users to monitor, access, and control their Raspberry Pi over a network. It provides tools for file access, resource monitoring, and insights from connected sensors and cameras. Users can send wake-on-LAN packets, access pinouts and wiring diagrams, and execute shell commands directly on the Raspberry Pi. To set up RaspController, users need the IP address of their Raspberry Pi and must enable SSH in the Raspberry Pi Configuration. The app can be downloaded from the Google Play or App Store. Users can control their Raspberry Pi from their smartphone, utilizing features like File Manager, SSH Shell, and Custom commands. Custom code can be added for unsupported sensors, but RaspController does not include VNC functionality.

Microsoft has introduced the Windows 365 Link, a mini PC designed to stream Windows directly from the cloud rather than running a local operating system. Unveiled at the 2024 Ignite conference, the device features a fanless, lightweight design and is set for release in April next year. It can support up to two 4K monitors and run applications like Microsoft Teams or Webex locally, but most operations will be cloud-based. The device incorporates a passwordless entry system via Microsoft’s Entra biometric ID for security. It operates within a closed ecosystem, does not support win32 applications, and lacks local administrative capabilities. Connectivity options include a USB-C port, three USB-A ports, one DisplayPort, one HDMI, and Ethernet, with support for WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.
