# Microsoft outlined a Windows strategy combining local and cloud AI, agent controls and on-device model support

## Retrieval answer

Microsoft outlined a Windows strategy combining local and cloud AI, agent controls and on-device model support.

Microsoft outlined a Windows strategy combining local and cloud AI, agent controls and on-device model support. The source reports that Microsoft Execution Containers (MXC) are generally available on Windows 11 and let organizations define file and network access policies for agents, enforced at runtime. It names Codex, GitHub Copilot and OpenClaw as current MXC supporters. The report also says GitHub HydraFusion model routing is planned for experimental previews later in October, while Copilot’s use of local PC context and on-device models is expected to begin rolling out in the coming months. These are distinct availability stages, not a single present-tense launch. Source: https://www.testingcatalog.com/microsoft-brings-hybrid-ai-and-agent-controls-to-windows
