Microsoft is developing its own artificial intelligence reasoning models to compete with OpenAI, according to a report by The Information. This move is aimed at diversifying Microsoft's AI offerings and reducing its reliance on OpenAI's technology. The company has begun testing models from xAI, Meta, and DeepSeek as potential alternatives to OpenAI's technology within its Copilot product.
Microsoft's Copilot, an AI-powered chatbot integrated into Microsoft 365 and Windows 11, currently runs on OpenAI's GPT-4 model. By investing in the development of its own AI models, Microsoft aims to enhance Copilot's capabilities while offering more tailored AI solutions to its users.
This strategic shift is expected to strengthen Microsoft's position in the competitive AI market while providing greater control over its AI ecosystem. The company may also sell its AI models to developers, further expanding its reach in the AI space.
