Microsoft is preparing to launch its own AI reasoning model, which could pose a significant challenge to OpenAI.
Microsoft to Rival OpenAI
Following Amazon, Microsoft has also entered the race for AI reasoning models. Reports suggest the company may launch its in-house reasoning model by the end of this year. This model will directly compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT, and Microsoft plans to sell it to other developers as well. AI reasoning models are designed to solve complex problems through diverse methods and 'thinking' processes.
Microsoft Reducing Reliance on OpenAI
Despite significant investment in OpenAI, Microsoft is now strategizing to reduce its dependence. Reports indicate the company is testing AI models from xAI, Meta, and DeepSeek as alternatives to OpenAI for its Copilot. News in December suggested Microsoft was testing new AI models to reduce costs and equip Microsoft 365 Copilot with diverse technologies.
Microsoft's AI Model Could Launch This Year
Reports suggest Microsoft's AI division is training a new reasoning model utilizing 'chain of thought' technology. This model is expected to be a b competitor to OpenAI's ChatGPT. It is anticipated that this model will launch this year, offering developers the opportunity to integrate it into their applications.
The Intensifying AI Model Race
Competition in the AI world is rapidly escalating. While the race initially involved primarily American companies, Chinese companies are now making significant strides. The Chinese startup DeepSeek recently launched a cost-effective AI model, causing a stir in the tech industry. Similarly, India is also preparing to launch its own AI model this year.
