Microsoft is escalating its efforts to compete with OpenAI, its long-standing partner, by developing its own artificial intelligence models and investigating different technologies to enhance products such as Microsoft’s Copilot bot.
According to a report by The Information, the company is working on its own ‘reasoning’ AI models that are intended to rival OpenAI’s o1 and o3-mini. The partnership between Microsoft and OpenAI has reportedly been complicated by disputes over technical specifications. Microsoft has requested comprehensive details about how OpenAI’s o1 model functions, but OpenAI has apparently declined to provide the requested information.
