Microsoft is developing AI reasoning models that compete with OpenAI.

According to The Information today (March 8), Microsoft is developing its own artificial intelligence (AI) reasoning models to compete with OpenAI and may sell these models to other developers.

The report reveals that the Redmond, Washington-based company, in addition to being a major sponsor of OpenAI, has begun testing models from xAI, Meta, and DeepSeek as potential alternatives to OpenAI in Copilot.

Microsoft is developing AI reasoning models that compete with OpenAI.

Microsoft is looking to reduce its reliance on ChatGPT maker, even as the startup's initial partnership helped it establish a leading position among major tech companies in the lucrative AI race.

According to Reuters in December 2024, Microsoft has been working to add internal and third-party AI models to support its flagship Microsoft 365 Copilot AI product in order to diversify OpenAI's existing underlying technology and reduce costs.

When Microsoft announced 365 Copilot in 2023, a key selling point was its use of OpenAI's GPT-4 model.

According to a report by The Information, Microsoft's AI division, headed by Mustafa Suleyman, has completed training a family of models, internally known as MAI, that perform nearly as well as top-performing models from OpenAI and Anthropic on generally accepted benchmarks.

The team is also training reasoning models, using thought chain techniques—a reasoning process that generates answers with intermediate reasoning capabilities when solving complex problems—that could directly compete with OpenAI.

The report states that Suleyman's team tested swapping MAI models, which are much larger than Microsoft's previous model family called Phi, for OpenAI models in Copilot.

Microsoft is considering releasing MAI models later this year as application programming interfaces (APIs), allowing external developers to incorporate these models into their own applications.
