Microsoft incubated OpenAI, but the relationship may be turning cold.
Microsoft and OpenAI have had something of a symbiotic relationship, with the former giving billions of capital to a startup AI lab and in return gaining early access to cutting-edge models that are now baked into Microsoft’s suite of productivity software. The two companies have been headed in diverging directions, however, andreported today that Microsoft is looking to add more models to its 365 Copilot product that aren’t built by OpenAI.
In one sense, it makes sense that Microsoft would want to reduce its reliance on OpenAI. If the company is right and AI is going to be the next generational change in computing, relying on an independent company for the core technology is not a great idea.until it makes it breaks even on its investment, and even then will still hold a large stake in the startup.
