New Microsoft AI model may challenge GPT-4 and Google Gemini.Microsoft is training a new, in-house AI language model large enough to compete with those from Alphabet's Google and OpenAI, the Information reported on Monday.
The new model, internally referred to as MAI-1, is being overseen by recently hired Mustafa Suleyman, the Google DeepMind co-founder and former CEO of AI startup Inflection, the report said, citing two Microsoft employees with knowledge of the effort.But it is claimed in the report that it is not Inflection AI model, but the company may use the training datasets and other related tech from the startup for this very Microsoft model, which is entirely separate from the ones that Inflection has already released.The point to remember here is that Microsoft, put out $650 million to buy the entire rights to Inflection and also hired most of its staff members.
