Microsoft is reportedly testing Kimi K3 inside Copilot and preparing to add the model to Azure.
According to the screenshoted report:
- Microsoft engineers are evaluating whether Kimi K3 can power features in Copilot that previously relied on OpenAI and Anthropic models.
- The company has also tested other open-source models, including DeepSeek and earlier Kimi models.
- The move suggests Microsoft is broadening the model mix behind Copilot rather than tying the product to a single frontier provider.
