Microsoft Rolls Out 'Copilot Mode'
Digest more
Microsoft is set to report Q4 FY25 earnings, with Wall Street expecting strong results driven by AI demand and cloud growth — amid rising capital costs and layoffs tied to its rapid AI transformation.
It’s shocking, given that Microsoft was an early investor in OpenAI. With its early Bing Chat launch, Microsoft pulled ahead of both OpenAI and Google, offering the first chatbot that could search the web. Microsoft even had early access to a more advanced GPT model than the one you could use in ChatGPT at the time. Then everything changed.
OpenAI is one of the world's leading AI research labs. Founded in 2015, it's behind some of today's most talked-about tools, including GPT, DALL·E, and ChatGPT.
Microsoft is reportedly in advanced talks with OpenAI for a new agreement that would give it ongoing access to the startup’s technology even if OpenAI achieves what it defines as AGI, or advanced general intelligence.
The servers of Open AI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini and Microsoft's Copilot require consume enormous energy and water for cooling.
