Microsoft is seeking an inside edge on some of the most popular and advanced artificial intelligence systems as competition rages in the fast-growing industry.
Microsoft is making a $US10 billion investment over several years in OpenAI, the creator of the artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT that has lit up the internet since its introduction in November.
OpenAI needs Microsoft’s funding and cloud-computing power to crunch massive volumes of data and run the increasingly complex models that allow programs like DALL-E to generate realistic images based on a handful of words, and ChatGPT to create astonishingly human-like conversational text in response to prompts or queries.
OpenAI noted on Monday that it used Microsoft’s cloud-based service Azure to train all of its models and that Microsoft’s investment would allow it to accelerate its independent research. Azure would remain the exclusive cloud provider for OpenAI, the company said. The service gives Microsoft’s cloud customers access to various OpenAI tools like the GPT-3.5 language system that ChatGPT is based on, as well as the Dall-E model for generating images from text prompts. That enables Azure customers to use the OpenAI products in their own applications running in the cloud.
