WSL 3 Request MCT AI-Engineer Associate

Hello,

I have an Asus Snapdragon X2E94100, 48gb unified memory 80 TOPS NPU.  I have Join the release Preview Insider Program.  I am a MCT certified AI-Engineer looking to get on the list for the 'WSL 3' to enable the NPU for local model development using 'MS AI Foundry'.  At a very low level I am quickly jumping into frontier modeling with the intent of developing usable agents as part of my demonstrations.  I can't thank Microsoft enough for quickly implementing the WSL 3 features of moving away from the Cuda Dependencies and utilizing the ever-increasing NPU technology.

Windows Update gave me the initial preview features.

Within a few minutes maybe 30 minutes I received some really cool previews Now the NPU is showing up in a device manager, as well as multiple AI components, which shows up when you press in system and scroll down.

I fully realize the WSL 3 was just announced like two weeks ago, please add me to any list that has the required hardware to assist in evaluating the stability. I was wondering how long it will be before the stable WSL 3 will be available, for Windows on Arm.

Regards,

Tom Kelly
