Microsoft Build 2026: All the news about Windows, AI, RTX Spark and more

Microsoft's annual developer conference, Build 2026, opened on June 2 in San Francisco, with the keynote scheduled to be livestreamed at 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time / 9:30 a.m. Pacific Time. This article from The Verge is a live-updating roundup that will continue to add the various announcements Microsoft makes as the event progresses. From the preview provided so far, the conference content will span topics such as Windows, AI, and RTX Spark, and may include new AI models as well as features or products with agentic characteristics. The original article describes this direction as "OpenClaw-like," indicating that the focus may include AI capabilities that can proactively carry out tasks, but at this stage no official names, technical specifications, use cases, or launch timelines have been provided. For developers, the key point of interest at this Build is how Microsoft will further integrate AI capabilities into its product and developer tool ecosystem; for general readers, the Windows and hardware-related news may be worth watching. Because the current content is still an opening preview rather than a complete record of announcements, it is not yet possible to confirm the names of the new models, the specific positioning of RTX Spark, or whether the various features have officially launched.
