Description

Is @Microsoft quietly trying to step out of OpenAI’s shadow? During my chat with Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman at #MicrosoftBuild2026, he made their goal crystal clear: Microsoft wants the capacity to build the "absolute frontier" of AI models in house and entirely from scratch. Which is a departure from what they've been doing for the past few years of integrating OpenAI's models into their products. He also gave a really interesting answer about AI scraping for training data and I'm curious if it makes you want to give them a try more.... #Microsoft #AInews #AI #openai
