Microsoft Build decoded: Solara, Scout, AI models, GitHub’s woes and more with Mary Jo Foley


Listen Later

Todd Bishop and Mary Jo Foley sort through what's real and what's not quite fully baked, from Project Solara and the Scout agentic assistant to Microsoft's push for AI self-sufficiency and the mounting pressure on GitHub.
