Although Microsoft has maintained its partnership with OpenAI, it began to develop its own reasoning models to act more independently in the field of artificial intelligence. According to The Information, the company’s artificial intelligence team is working on a new model family that will rival the models of OpenAI. These models will rival the models that think like OpenAI O1 and O3.Although the technology giant is one of the greatest supporters of OpenAI to date, it aims to reduce this dependence in the long run. Microsoft, Copilot to create an alternative to OpenAI’a XAI, Meta and Deepseek testing models of companies such as said. In a separate news that emerged in December, Microsoft was reported to have planned to increase diversity and reduce costs by adding both internal and third -party artificial intelligence models for Microsoft 365 Copilot.
Microsoft MAI is coming
Developed under the leadership of Mustafa Suleyman at the beginning of Microsoft’s artificial intelligence department, the new model family is called MAI within the company. According to the transfer, these models are closely performed by the most powerful artificial intelligence models developed by OpenAI and Anthropic.
Microsoft, which focuses on models with reasoning capability, develops a system that uses a chain-of-thought techniques. This technique allows artificial intelligence to produce more logical and consistent answers by evaluating intermediate steps while solving complex problems. Microsoft’un openaI models in Copilot, instead of the MAI models began to test. MAI, which is a much larger and advanced version of the previously developed Phi models, can be used as a new basic model in the company’s Copilot and other artificial intelligence applications.
In addition, Microsoft’s MAI models in 2025 as an API to the developers to evaluate. If this happens, non -company developers will also be able to integrate MAI models into their own applications. Microsoft has invested about $ 14 billion in OpenAI so far and is one of the biggest investors.
