Microsoft is giving its developer-optimized Windows experience a name: Project Zenith. While the software maker originally announced a similar developer-optimized Windows effort at Build earlier this year, Project Zenith is designed for new developer-focused devices with 64GB or more of unified memory. “Project Zenith devices come with a preconfigured Windows setup for development and a set of tools curated for what developers reach for first,” explains Logan Iyer, CVP of Windows platform and developer at Microsoft. “On these devices, developers can run 30B+ parameter models locally and unmetered — accelerating experimentation while helping reduce reliance on metered cloud tokens.”
