After a tumultuous initial reaction and months of reworking, Microsoft is finally releasing the first preview of its controversial Recall feature today. If you’re a Windows Insider with a Qualcomm Copilot+ PC, you can install a new build of Windows 11 that includes both Recall and Click to Do.
If you’re not part of the Windows Insider Program but you want to try out this feature, it’s pretty easy to sign up on the Microsoft website. Recall was first announced back before any of the Copilot+ PCs were released and was meant to be available at launch, but an outcry of privacy and security concerns forced Microsoft to delay it.
The feature itself is meant to give your PC a “photographic memory,” allowing you to search for anything you’ve seen on your screen using natural language. To make it work, the feature takes constant snapshots of what you’re doing on your PC — and it was the security of these snapshots that got people worried.
According to the Windows Insider Blog, it seems you will have to authenticate with Windows Hello every time you open Recall — this will certainly make it “feel” secure, but could also get a little annoying. As for how secure it really is, there will hopefully be plenty of security professionals searching through the feature’s updated security and privacy architecture and sharing any issues they find through Microsoft’s Bug Bounty Program.
You can also control which snapshots are saved and which apps are allowed to take snapshots in the first place. Microsoft also claims that it can’t access your screenshots, doesn’t send them to the cloud, and won’t use them for AI training.
The Click to Do feature within Recall allows you to complete actions from the snapshots, such as copying text or saving images. If you don’t like the sound of Recall, you don’t need to worry about it coming to all Windows 11 PCs yet, but when it does, Microsoft promises that you’ll be able to fully uninstall the feature if you want to.
Nearly a month after announcing the GPT-6.1 Sol model, OpenAI unveiled GPT-6.1 Terra today. The latest addition to the family focuses on computer use, visual reasoning, coding, and professional work, while costing 50% less through the API than GPT-5.6 Terra.
OpenAI says Terra can handle everything from filling out browser forms and working inside spreadsheets to interpreting technical drawings and editing videos. The company says it can also complete computer-based tasks more than three times faster than GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol.
ASUS has started selling its UGen Intel Arc Pro B70 graphics card in Europe, bringing its take on Intel’s workstation GPU to customers with a hefty €1,799 recommended price. The card is available in Germany and Austria, while ASUS lists it at CHF 1,799 in Switzerland.
Intel first introduced the Arc Pro B70 in March 2026, with its own branded model starting at $949. ASUS’s version arrives several months later with the same core GPU architecture but a different cooling design and a higher power rating. The price also places it well above Intel’s original starting point, although the two prices are not directly comparable because ASUS’s European figure includes VAT.
Anthropic has officially filed to go public, and buried inside its S-1 is a blunt warning about the technology at the center of its business. The maker of Claude AI says advanced AI could cause everything from large-scale cyberattacks and geopolitical instability to catastrophic or even existential risks for humanity.
The warnings take up a surprisingly large part of the filing. Axios notes that more than 90 pages, or roughly a third of the prospectus, focus on risk factors. Many of them warn about what could happen as AI systems become more capable and autonomous.
