Microsoft has rolled out an 'AI Component Release Information' webpage tailored for Windows 11 AI+ PC devices. Its primary purpose is to keep a detailed record of the version update logs pertaining to AI models. Users can easily access information about the AI model version and its update history by navigating to 'Settings > System > AI Components'. It's important to note that this particular page is exclusive to AI - enabled PCs and is not accessible on non - AI PCs.

At present, Windows 11 AI+ PCs come pre - loaded with the core local model Phi Silica. This model boasts impressive capabilities, including local text comprehension and generation. It can function seamlessly even when offline, leveraging low - power NPUs (Neural Processing Units) for enhanced acceleration. Being an independently updatable component, the Phi Silica model can undergo continuous improvement and evolution through background services.

However, the integration of AI models has led to a substantial increase in the size of Windows update packages. Despite this, Microsoft remains committed to pushing out AI component updates on a regular basis, typically every few weeks, through the well - known 'Patch Tuesday' update cycle.
