Microsoft is actively integrating a variety of artificial intelligence models into Microsoft 365 Copilot, its flagship AI product, with the goal of diversifying its existing platform technology, which is based on OpenAI, while minimizing operating costs.
Microsoft, one of OpenAI's major investors, is making a move to reduce its reliance on the AI startup. The move marks a significant shift from recent years when Microsoft took advantage of early access to OpenAI's cutting-edge models. When 365 Copilot launched in March 2023, one of the highlights of the product was its ability to integrate OpenAI's GPT-4 model.
According to internal sources, Microsoft wants to reduce its dependence on OpenAI due to concerns about cost and processing speed for enterprise customers. However, the cooperation between the two sides is still maintained. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that OpenAI continues to be a strategic partner in developing advanced AI models.
“We use different models from OpenAI and Microsoft, depending on the product and user needs,” said a Microsoft representative. The agreement between the two companies allows Microsoft to customize OpenAI models to suit its own strategy.
In addition to the partnership, Microsoft is ramping up its own AI technology development, including the Phi-4 compact model and open source models. These efforts are aimed at improving performance, reducing operating costs, and bringing savings benefits to enterprise customers.
CEO Satya Nadella and the Microsoft leadership team are closely monitoring this progress, and it’s a common direction across the company. Microsoft’s programming platform GitHub recently added models from Anthropic and Google as an alternative to GPT-4. Its consumer chatbot Copilot is also being upgraded with a combination of in-house models and OpenAI.
365 Copilot – an AI assistant in Microsoft’s suite of business tools like Word and PowerPoint – is currently facing challenges with pricing and usability. According to a survey by Gartner, most of the 152 IT companies surveyed have not yet moved beyond the pilot phase with 365 Copilot.
Still, the outlook for the product remains positive, with analysts from BNP Paribas Exane predicting that Microsoft will reach more than 10 million paying users by 2024. Microsoft’s official blog post in November also revealed that 70% of Fortune 500 companies have adopted 365 Copilot, indicating a positive sign of adoption.
Reducing reliance on OpenAI not only helps Microsoft better control costs but also affirms its internal capabilities in the field of AI. With strategic vision and close supervision from the leadership, 365 Copilot is expected to become a powerful tool, opening up many opportunities for both Microsoft and enterprise customers.
