In a briefing for Wall Street this week, Microsoft made it clear that it is openly competing with its long-time partner OpenAI more than ever before.
The company pitched its fully homegrown AI models to the financial community, showcasing a suite of internally built AI harnesses and even a competitor to OpenAI's Mythos. This signals Microsoft's strategic shift to reduce its sole reliance on OpenAI's technology, proving to the market that it possesses an independent, end-to-end AI infrastructure capable of driving continued growth.
