Microsoft shipped Aion 1.0 Plan (14B parameter, 32K context, tool-calling) and Aion 1.0 Instruct (fast summarization/rewriting SLM) in-box with Windows on capable devices. Developers can now build fully local agentic apps — file management, sub-agent orchestration, intent detection — without any cloud round-trip. Aion Instruct is available today in Edge Insider; open weights come to Hugging Face in July.
