Microsoft exec hits back at Altman's single-model vision: Copilot already offers multi-provider models
0xkarasy · x · 2026-09-30
- Sam Altman said on a podcast that users are tired of the model picker, and the ideal is GPT as one model with a speed dial (when you need it fast) and a cost dial (when you don't).
- Microsoft's Pierce Boggan quote-replied with a jab: agreed — but imagine not being limited to models from one provider, which GitHub Copilot already offers today.
- The exchange frames a real product-strategy split: OpenAI pushing a unified single-model experience versus Copilot's multi-provider model selection as the user-friendly status quo.
