Microsoft introduces small language model Mu to change settings in Windows 11
Microsoft on Monday (June 23, 2025) unveiled its on-device small language model, Mu, that allows users to change settings through natural language queries. The company said Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel with Copilot+PCs can access Mu. The AI agent for Settings in Windows 11 was included in the existing search box for a seamless user experience, the company said. 'Mu is fully offloaded onto the Neural Processing Unit (NPU) and responds at over 100 tokens per second, meeting the demanding UX requirements of the agent in Settings scenario,' Vivek Pradeep, VP, Distinguished Engineer at Windows Applied Sciences noted in a company blog. Trained over multiple phases using Nvidia's A100 GPUs on Azure Machine Learning, Mu followed a similar technique as Microsoft's previous small language model family, Phi. It was pre-trained on 'hundreds of billions of the highest-quality educational tokens, to learn language syntax, grammar, semantics and some world knowledge.' Mu was then distilled from the Phi models to enhance accuracy.

Trade agreements with US, EU to be concluded soon: Sitharaman
New Delhi, Jun 24 (PTI) Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday said negotiations for the proposed free trade agreements with the US and European Union (EU) are progressing at a fast pace and would be concluded soon. All efforts are being made to boost exports to achieve the ambitious target of USD 2 trillion by 2030. India has already signed free trade agreements with the UAE, Australia, and 4-nation EFTA (European Free Trade Association) bloc and negotiations have been completed with the UK, she said adding "with the US and the European Union, negotiations are really intensely going on and should come to conclusion sooner." The emphasis now is on concluding more free trade agreements, she said while inaugurating Trade Conclave by India Exim Bank here. Referring to the country's exports, the finance minister said total exports of goods and services reached a record high of USD 825 billion in FY25, achieving 6 per cent growth over previous year. While global exports grew by only 4 per cent, India's exporters managed to fast-track and cross growth of 6.3 per cent despite global uncertainties on trade front, she said. Observing that exporters are "swimming against tides" , she assured all support to them and urged them to focus on innovation and finding newer markets for their products. Speaking at the event, Financial Services Secretary M Nagaraju said India's growth prospects remain bright even as the world economy is troubled by geopolitical uncertainties and significant headwinds emanating from it. "Even amidst all the global headwinds, India continues to be a beacon of hope," he said. Nagaraju said that India's exports, which the commerce ministry is "trying very hard" to integrate into the global value chain, are doing well irrespective of the challenges. Exports from the pharmaceuticals and gems and jewellery sectors are showing resilience, he said adding in this endeavour, the finance ministry is committed to extending support through policy, schemes and financial aid. "Our financial systems are strong with adequate capital and low non-performing assets," he said, adding, this gives strong support to India's financial needs.

LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky says AI will disrupt jobs, shares how to protect your career
LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky recently opened up about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the job market. In an interview with Bloomberg, Roslanky shared his insights on the use of AI and cautioned that the technology has the potential to disrupt careers. As a leader at LinkedIn, Roslansky shared that he has access to AI advancements, including early integration with tools like Copilot, Microsoft's generative AI assistant. He revealed that he uses AI for writing important emails, especially those sent to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. 'Before I send him an email, I hit the Copilot button to make sure that I sound Satya-smart,' Roslansky said, explaining how the tool refines tone and context using previous email history. While AI promises to make tasks like writing, learning, and business creation more accessible, Roslansky emphasised that the path forward won't be entirely smooth. 'In the long term, it's a really good thing… I think we are going to see real democratisation in terms of how people can now easily start small businesses, build an app, teach themselves something that used to only be available if you were in some elite educational institution,' he said. 'That, in and of itself, is going to create new roles. But there's going to be a ton of disruption. There's going to be a ton of uncertainty along the way.' To navigate this shift, Roslansky advised professionals to focus on distinctly human skills, those that AI can't easily replicate. 'Stay informed and develop skills that make them stand out, especially communication and collaboration,' he said. Roslansky also shed light on how LinkedIn's internal data backs up the growing influence of AI, and there has been a surge in job listings that require AI skills. However, he emphasised that many users are still careful about how AI shapes their professional image. While LinkedIn offers writing suggestions powered by AI, users tend to steer away from anything that sounds overtly artificial. 'LinkedIn is a professional image for many users. So, if a post looks clearly AI-written, people will call it out—and that can hurt a user's reputation,' he noted. Talking about the increase in fake profiles, Roslansky shared that LinkedIn now offers verification features, such as confirming a user's work email or government ID, to build credibility among professionals. Roslansky further clarified that AI did not trigger the company's recent job cuts. However, the platform is actively encouraging all teams to adopt an 'AI-first' mindset. 'People are going to have to learn how to re-skill now that their job is changing on them, even if they're not changing their job,' he said.
