Microsoft's Quiet Breakup with OpenAI: An AI Power Struggle

Microsoft is quietly distancing itself from OpenAI, developing its own in-house reasoning model, MAI, and testing models from xAI, Meta, and DeepSeek as potential ChatGPT replacements in Copilot. Driven by concerns over ChatGPT's cost and speed, and hampered by OpenAI's reluctance to share documentation on its o1 model, Microsoft's massive investment and initial partnership seem to be dissolving into a fierce AI competition. Both companies are vying for market share, promising an exciting future for the AI landscape.
