Microsoft has unveiled new artificial intelligence models tailored for specific industries, designed to meet unique business needs. These pre-trained models leverage industry-specific information, developed in collaboration with leading companies.
One notable example is the E.L.Y Crop Protection model, created in partnership with Bayer. This agro-specific small language model (SLM) is aimed at assisting agriculture businesses in compliance, crop protection, and sustainability.
Additionally, Microsoft is rolling out five open-source models through Hugging Face, optimized for summarization and sentiment analysis of financial data.
New AI agents in Copilot Studio are also being introduced for various sectors. For instance, a Store Operations AI Agent aids retailers in managing their stores, while a Factory Agent assists manufacturers in identifying production inefficiencies.
This strategic move positions Microsoft as a leader in the AI space, focusing on integrating tailored solutions into core business operations.
