AI coding agents are only as good as the foundation they build on. Our latest 26.2 release ships Mojo 🔥 coding agent skills, purpose-built for writing and porting GPU kernels. Point Claude or Cursor at a CUDA kernel, get idiomatic Mojo back. Also in this release: FLUX.2 image gen at 3-4x PyTorch Diffusers speed with a 4.1x cost savings on B200. See everything in 26.2 ↓ modular.com/blog/modular-2…

There’s a lot of work underway that Pavan shared earlier today. Something that I know has been at the top of a lot of people’s minds is the feeling that feedback goes into a void, without real people to review and see it on the other side. To help with that, I’ll be taking on an expanded role as the exec sponsor of the Windows Insider Program to listen, engage, and help shape what’s ahead with the Windows community. Over the coming weeks, we’ll also introduce you to members of the product teams that will help you get answers on the topics you care about most. I’d love to hear from you. What would you like to see more of from us as we get started?

The team and I have spent the past several months analyzing feedback from the community. What came through was the voice of people who care deeply about Windows and want it to be better. Read this blog post to learn more about what we're doing in response as we look to raise the bar on Windows 11 quality. Please keep the feedback coming, to help us shape the future of Windows together. blogs.windows.com/windows-inside…
