With NPU support, Microsoft Paint application is expected to usher in new AI features

Microsoft's Paint application (Paint) has continued to update features in the past few months, including a "co-create" function and a background image removal function, as well as a Photoshop-like layer function. The latest news shows that the drawing application running on Windows 11 system will introduce a new AI feature that may use NPU for calculations.

NPU, or Neural Processing Unit
(Neural Processing Unit), is a dedicated hardware component often equipped on new Windows 11 computers for processing AI
and machines directly on the device Learning tasks. Compared with relying on the cloud or general-purpose CPU, NPU can perform AI tasks directly on the device, improving processing efficiency.

In the latest version of Microsoft's Paint app, Windows
Latest discovered a file called "NPUDetect", suggesting that the Windows 11 version of the Paint app will soon be able to detect and potentially exploit ## on the device #NPU. Considering that the existing “co-creation” feature already uses AI technology, what will this new feature be?

Some analysts pointed out that Microsoft Paint may be integrating AI features that require NPU capabilities, such as implementing advanced image editing tools or real-time effects on the device through AI algorithms. In addition, it is possible that Microsoft is developing other features.

IT House has noticed that in addition to drawing applications, other built-in Windows applications are also gradually updating AI functions. For example, the built-in Photos app in Windows 10 and 11 recently introduced a "generative erasure" feature similar to Google's Magic Eraser, and added a new drawing-like background removal tool.

In addition, Microsoft is working on new ways to deeply integrate Copilot with Windows 11, and one of the experimental features will even allow users to view the IP address of the device.
