Microsoft just introduced Magma, a new AI model designed to help robots see, understand and act more intelligently. Unlike traditional artificial intelligence models, Magma processes different types of data all at once – an effort Microsoft is calling a big leap toward "agentic AI," or systems that can plan and execute tasks on a user's behalf.

The newly-announced Magma is a multimodal AI enabling agentic tasks ranging from UI navigation to robotics manipulation.

Muse is Microsoft's new generative AI for game development that promises to be a gameplay concept tool – it will ideate playable ideas, building game visuals, controller inputs and more. It sounds groundbreaking but Muse feels like a tech experiment rather than the game development revolution Microsoft is pitching.

Microsoft says Muse was developed around the idea of how innovations in AI capabilities can support creativity.

Microsoft’s Muse is built on the World and Human Action Model (WHAM) and is intended to enhance developers’ creativity.
