Microsoft is creating its own artificial intelligence (AI) model. This is because they want to compete with OpenAI, the company that made ChatGPT. Microsoft has been a big investor in OpenAI, but now they are making their own technology.
Why Microsoft Is Doing This
- Microsoft wants to rely less on OpenAI.
- They are also testing AI models from other companies like Elon Musk’s xAI, Meta, and DeepMind.
- The goal is to provide more AI options.
The New AI: MAI
- Microsoft’s AI division, led by Mustafa Suleyman, is developing the AI model named “MAI.”
- They say MAI will work as well as AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic.
- MAI is being trained to think and solve problems like humans. This technology is called “chain-of-thought.”
What This Means
- Microsoft plans to use MAI in its Copilot program, instead of only using OpenAI’s models.
- Microsoft wants to provide MAI as a tool for other software developers.
- By the end of this year, developers may be able to add MAI to their apps.
In Simple Terms:
Microsoft is building its own smart computer program (AI) to be less dependent on other companies, and to give more choices to people who build apps.
