Microsoft’s next AI bet may be the platform, not better models
This X post links to a Forbes piece arguing that Microsoft’s next AI move is not chasing ever-better models, but building the platform layer around them.
The framing suggests Microsoft sees more leverage in the ecosystem, distribution, and product surface than in model competition alone. The post itself is just a link, so the concrete details would come from the article rather than the tweet text.
