Microsoft is all set to revolutionize Artificial Intelligence with its latest innovation, MAI-1, an AI language model developed to challenge the dominance of Google’s Gemini and OpenAI GPT-4.
Led by Mustafa Suleyman, the renowned co-founder of Google DeepMind and former CEO of the AI startup Inflection, this initiative marks a major shift in Microsoft’s AI strategy.
People started sharing their opinions and views as soon as this news landed on the internet. Some suggest that it would pose a great challenge for OpenAI if Microsoft launches it as an open-source.
