### Version 1.8.2 (1.8.251003001)
3030

This is the latest service release for Version 1.8 of the Windows App SDK.
3232

33+
#### Updated ONNX Runtime
34+
Updated the `onnxruntime.dll` to 1.23.1 introducing several enhancements to ONNX Runtime's Python and C++ APIs, focusing on improved device and memory information handling, synchronization stream support, and tensor copy functionality. It adds new Python bindings for device/memory types, exposes more detailed session input/output metadata, and provides a Python-accessible tensor copy API. The changes also refactor and extend the C++ API for better stream and memory info management.
35+
36+
**Key enhancements include:**
37+
* Python bindings for `OrtMemoryInfoDeviceType`, `OrtDeviceMemoryType`, and expanded `OrtDevice` to expose the memory type via a new `mem_type` method. The `OrtMemoryInfo` Python class now supports both legacy and new V2 constructors and exposes additional properties such as device memory type and Vendor ID.
38+
* Extended the Python `InferenceSession` object to provide access to imput/output `OrtMemoryInfo` and `OrtEpDevice` objects through new properties and methods
39+
* Introduced Python bindings for `OrtSyncStream`, including creation via `OrtEpDevice.create_sync_stream()` and retrieval of device-specific `OrtMemoryInfo` via `OrtEpDevice.memory_info()`.
40+
* Refactored the C++ API to generalize `SyncStream` handling, allowing for unowned streams and improved type safety.
41+
* Added a new Python-level `copy_tensors` function and corresponding C++ binding, enabling efficient copying of tensor data between OrtValue objects, optionally using a synchronization stream.
42+
* Changed the return type of the `OrtValue.data_ptr` method in the Python binding from `int64_t` to `uintptr_t` for better cross-platform compatibility.
43+
* Minor improvements to error messages and device type handling in the Python API (e.g., for OrtDevice).
44+
* Addressed edge cases in memory information handling
45+
* Resolved minor issues to improve stability and reliability
46+
47+
#### Bug fixes
48+
* Fixed deployment handler code to report the actual failure HRESULT for increased clarity when troubleshooting.

Phi Silica, Microsoft's most powerful NPU-tuned local language model, is optimized for efficiency and performance on Windows Copilot+ PCs devices while still offering many of the capabilities found in Large Language Models (LLMs).
