To compete with Microsoft Openai, the in-house artificial intelligence region is developing and can sell them to the developers, the report reported on Friday described a person involved in the initiative.

Redmund, Washington -based company, a prominent backer of OpenAII, has started testing the model from XAI, Meta and Dipsek as a potential openiAI replacement in Copilot.

Microsoft Chatgpt is looking to reduce its dependence on the manufacturer, even its initial partnership with a startup placed it in the leadership position among Big Tech peers in the attractive AI race.

Reuters specifically stated in December that the company is working on adding internal and third -party AI models to provide electricity to its leading AI product Microsoft 365 Copilot to bring diversity from the current underlying technology from OpenIAI and reduce the cost.

When Microsoft announced 365 Kopilot in 2023, a major sales point was that it used Openai’s GPT-4 model.

According to the information report, Microsoft’s AI Division led by Mustafa Suleman has completed the training of a family of model, which is internally referred to as Mai, which shows an almost leading model from anthropic on the openiAI and commonly accepted benchmarks.

The report stated that the team is also training the regioning model, using a rational process using chain-off-three techniques that generate answers with intermediate arguments when solving complex problems that can compete directly with Openai, the report states.

Suleman’s team is already experimenting with the MAI model swap, which is much larger than the earlier family of the Microsoft model, called PHI, for the model of Openai in Copilot, reported in the report.

The report stated that the company is considering releasing the MAI model as an application programming interface later this year, which will allow outside developers to weave these models in their own apps.

Microsoft and Openai immediately did not respond to Reuters’ ReqUsts for Comment.
