Microsoft 365 Copilot: Elevating your productivity

Microsoft has launched its 365 Copilot and the subscriptions are now available. But what actually is this “Copilot”? and what does it do? Let’s get right into it to find out more.

Emergence of AI

From Deep Blue, the infamous system that beat chess master Gary Kasparov, to ChatGPT, an LLM that can write you movies in minutes, AI (Artificial Intelligence) has continued to impress us for decades.

In the pursuit of that very AI, companies like Google, Amazon, OpenAI, Microsoft, and IBM are all challenging and competing with each other. The innovation through such competition has also emerged in a more dialectical fashion. But lately, there’s a massive buzz around Microsoft’s newly embedded Copilot AI.

Microsoft 365 Copilot

What is Microsoft really building?

Microsoft is launching Microsoft 365 Copilot, an AI assistant integrated into Microsoft’s tools, to race ahead.

It is foreseeable that copilot will forever change and transform our view toward AI and erroneously boring jobs. Such that humans will no longer have to endure endless tiring work like analyzing and reading long PDFs.

What exactly is Microsoft Copilot?

Microsoft has developed an AI assistant called Copilot which will assist you with routine business inquiries. Copilot integrates your company’s data with Large Language Models. OpenAI’s ChatGPT is linked to Copilot. One of the LLMs underlying Copilot is GPT-4.

But what exactly is LLM? How do they work?

The term “Large Language Model,” or LLM for short, describes a class of artificial intelligence models intended to comprehend and produce human language.

Because they are based on deep learning methods, LLMs excel at producing and comprehending natural language. These AI models are a subset that concentrates on producing and analyzing text-based data.

While the history of LLM is relatively recent, starting in 2013, Google introduced Word2Vec, a model that learned word embeddings, which was a precursor to more advanced language models. The overall development can be traced back to academics like Noam Chomsky, Geoffrey Hinton, Youshua Bengio, etc who pioneered in the field of linguistic and generative grammar.

But Why Is Microsoft using ChatGPT?

Microsoft invested one billion dollars in the emerging start-up OpenAI back in 2019. And further extended its partnership by investing another 10 billion dollars. Since then both of these giants have sought to do numerous collaborations. OpenAI’s technologies are now integrated into various Microsoft services like Azure, Bing, and now finally Copilot.

What can we do with Copilot?

Copilot can analyze data in Microsoft Apps and perform tasks such as searching for patterns in specific data sets, analyzing data, creating new sheets and graphs, and even offering an Excel explanation of its workings and illustrating its findings.

Microsoft 365 Copilot: Price and Availability

As it is exclusively intended for enterprise users, Microsft 365 Copilot will cost 30$ a month. But it will be free for students who are provided with valid school IDs & addresses.

Microsoft Copilot is available for Outlook, Teams, PowerPoint, Excel and Word.

OnePlus rumored to launch the Nord N30 SE — a rebrand?

While the flagship OnePlus 12 is marching closer, there’s also the much cheaper Nord N30 SE which might have slipped under your radar. And according to rumors, this new smartphone might not be so “new” after all, being a potential rebrand instead. Anyways, in this article, let’s delve into the rumored features, specs, and potential launch date of the OnePlus Nord N30 SE.

OnePlus Nord N30 SE Rumours Roundup

The OnePlus Nord N30 SE is not a “new” phone per se but has been rebranded with a new name. It has identical specs to the OnePlus Nord N30 (US) and Nord CE 3 lite (India).

Model and Marketing Name

The new name is merely updated with “SE” which generally stands for “Special Edition”. The Indian variant carries ‘CE’ in its name too which is an abbreviation for Core Edition. Hence, the distinction between the two. The exact purpose of this rebranding is still unknown, but the internet remarks it is to create a buzz around the market as the launch date of the OnePlus 12 is around the corner.

The Nord N30 SE got its certification from the TDRA in the UAE. The certification confirms the phone’s name and gives us its model number as well: CPH2605.

Processor

As per the buzz in the tech market, the upcoming OnePlus Nord N30 SE will have the Snapdragon 695 SoC at the helm just like its Indian and US counterparts. The Snapdragon 695 offers high-bandwidth, low-latency connections that enable seamless productivity and entertainment. And at such an affordable price, it isn’t too bad of a choice.

Camera

A triple rear camera system (108MP main, 2MP macro, 2MP depth sensor), provided with a 16MP selfie snapper will be a pleasant invitation to the senses.

Rest of the specs

So far, the available information on the Nord N30 SE confirms that, just like the Nord N30, it will have a 6.72-inch FHD display, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of expandable storage, and a 5,100 mAh battery.

OnePlus Nord N30 SE Launch Date and Availability

As we’ve learned through this article, OnePlus will soon release a ‘new’ model called the Nord N30 SE, and it will be limited to UAE for now. But, it’s likely going to be a phone we’ve already seen in other markets—be it under a different name. The exact release date and price of the phone are still unknown but we’ll keep updating this article with the latest developments.
