Microsoft announced 2 new on-device models at Microsoft Build 2026. Aion 1.0 Instruct: efficiency at scale. Aion 1.0 Instruct is our next-generation small language model, smaller, faster and efficient than our current Windows OS SLM. Designed from the ground up for on-device workloads, Aion 1.0 Instruct powers everyday text intelligence (summarization, rewrite, intents, accessibility) and extends beyond Windows APIs with integration into the Edge browser and availability as open weights.
