TL;DR
- Project Solara is a new “chip-to-cloud” platform from Microsoft that’s AI agent-first.
- Microsoft has designed a couple Solara reference devices to get companies interested in its possibilities
- Solara is built on a framework that’s ultimately based on the AOSP.
AI is everywhere these days, but so many times it feels like something that’s been tacked on to an existing product: It’s a smartphone with AI, or earbuds that are equipped with AI note-taking. And while that usually works well enough, Microsoft envisions a new kind of hardware that’s AI agent-first in its design and execution — and is tapping into Android to make that a reality.
