What’s real, ready, and next for developers with Scott Guthrie | LIVE109
Microsoft is scaling Azure AI infrastructure rapidly and using first-party silicon to cut AI solution costs.
“we added over a gigawatt of data centers in 90 days”
Scott Guthrie, who runs Azure, described Microsoft's rapid buildout of AI infrastructure, citing over a gigawatt of new data center capacity added in 90 days and first-party silicon (Azure Maya and Cobalt) aimed at taking a large percentage of cost out of AI solutions. This matters because it signals the scale and cost-optimization strategy underpinning Microsoft's AI platform that GitHub Copilot, M365, and agentic solutions all depend on.
