According to The Information, Microsoft has built its own argumentative AI models, which can be compared to models like OpenAI's o1 and o3-mini.
The source said OpenAI has rejected Microsoft's request to provide technical information regarding the operation of o1, adding to tensions between the two sides.
Bloomberg also reported that Microsoft has developed a line of AI models called MAI, which can compete with OpenAI models and is considering providing them later this year.
In parallel, Microsoft is said to be testing AI models from xAI, Meta, Anthropic and DeepSeek as potential alternatives to OpenAI technology in the Copilot virtual assistant.
To date, Microsoft has invested about $14 billion in OpenAI but is still trying to reduce its dependence on this partner.
One of the company's strategic steps is to recruit Mustafa Suleyman - co-founder of DeepMind and Inflection to lead the group's AI segment.
Microsoft's move shows that the group is gradually reducing its dependence on OpenAI and strengthening its position in the AI field.
Developing its own AI models, testing alternatives, and recruiting top talent are all clear signs of Microsoft's long-term ambitions.
The competition between these two technology giants will not only reshape the AI market but can also create new breakthroughs in the global technology industry.
