Microsoft is said to be building an OpenAI competitor despite its multi-billion-dollar partnership with the firm, using GPT-4 data. The new large language model (LLM) MAI-1 might be trained on datasets from Inflection, a startup previously owned by Google DeepMind cofounder Mustafa Suleyman, now the CEO of Microsoft's AI department.
Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott downplayed the significance of MAI-1, suggesting it's normal for Microsoft to build supercomputers to train AI models, which are then utilized by partners like OpenAI. He implied that the competition between the two entities is beneficial for innovation.
Despite Microsoft's development of a significant LLM, MAI-1's ultimate purpose remains uncertain. Microsoft is approaching the project with some neutrality, waiting to assess its performance before determining its specific use.
