If Microsoft Sherlocks OpenAI, I'm going to laugh about it for a good month.

Assuming this is correct (no idea) it is interesting that both Meta and MS have decided on ~400B - 500B param (assuming dense) models. Also interesting that is also roughly the same amount of activated params as the rumored GPT4 architecture. doesn't mean much by itself, but it..…

Today's big scoop from @theinformation is that Microsoft is training a giant model to compete with OpenAI. This fits into a larger pattern, going back over a year. Nadella clearly doesn't want to be dependent on OpenAI. And because OpenAI doesn't appear to have a lot of unique...

Microsoft is now working on its own Model (LLM) MAI-500B. My Thoughts 👇🏻 No surprise that Microsoft, despite its deep connection to OpenAI, is going to develop and build its own LLMs. What I don't see is this as an “attack” of any sort on OpenAI, but rather a diversification of…

As I predicted, Microsoft is training its own LLM It's called MAI-1, a 500B param model, and may be previewed at their Build conference. When this model becomes available, it will only be natural for MSFT to push this instead of the GPT line. As predicted, OAI and MSFT are... [im…

This is an interesting development. I suppose MS would not want to depend entirely on OpenAI. It's starting to look quite crowded, though.

Much industry talk today about @Microsoft training it's own #LLM. Known as #MAI-1, it has 500 billion parameters. The big Q is how @OpenAI will be positioned in the mix. My take: Microsoft has too few variety of models + this will diversify. But will alter OpenAI partnership.

Scoop: Microsoft is training its own large language model, internally labaled MAI-1, with Mustafa Suleyman leading the effort. The model is around 500B parameters and could compete directly with LLMs from Google, OpenAI, etc. Details: https://www.theinformation.com/ ...

@bindureddy While a smart model is important... the ability to build an agent framework around it is the only way to provide value (especially at the enterprise scale) MSFT has the absolute worst framework to do this... and their bloated ecosystem will never be as streamlined and…

There have been indications for some time that Microsoft was intending to take their own path, and were planning to train a bespoke model to compete with GPT-4. We now have a name. ‘MAI-1’ As well as a size: 500b.

Meanwhile the best supervised model in the world is 304M parameters. I think we have lost the plot somewhere.

@bindureddy Would assume a part of the motivation is Microsoft wanting to make copilot a local LLM, and OpenAI being against that.

I mentioned this not long after the Open AI relationship was clear last year but every company wanting to be an AI platform can't afford to outsource their primary model. This is the easiest prediction of vertical integration there is at the moment.
