According to Kuai Technology on March 8, on March 7 local time, media reported that since Mustafa Suleyman, head of Microsoft's internal AI department, took over Microsoft's AI business, his cooperation with OpenAI has not been smooth sailing.

People familiar with the matter revealed that at a video conference last fall, Suleyman and OpenAI management had a dispute over the "thinking chain" reasoning process and finally ended the call early in anger.

In order to get rid of its dependence on OpenAI, Suleyman formed an AI research team to focus on developing Microsoft's self-developed AI model MAI.

At present, Suleyman's team has begun testing MAI models in Microsoft Copilot products, trying to replace OpenAI's models with self-developed technologies.

In addition, Microsoft plans to launch MAI's API later this year so that external developers can integrate Microsoft's AI models into their own applications.

This means that once the program is implemented, Microsoft will compete directly with OpenAI and other AI labs in the API market.

Meanwhile, Suleyman is also testing the AI ​​model of OpenAI competitors to further diversify risks.

According to the above-mentioned person familiar with the matter, Microsoft is trying to use Anthropic, Musk's xAI model, as well as the open source model provided by DeepSeek and Meta, hoping to maintain more options in the field of AI.

Although Microsoft's AI team has made some breakthroughs in MAI research and development, Suleyman said in an interview that Microsoft's AI business still faces many challenges.

The training of the MAI model took nearly a year, and it experienced many technical obstacles and strategic adjustments during this period. Some senior executives even left because they did not agree with Suleyman's management and technical route.

Meanwhile, OpenAI has successfully trained and released several new models, and its technological advancement is still far faster than Microsoft.

It is worth noting that previously, Microsoft has invested more than US$13 billion in OpenAI in exchange for part of its revenue share and obtained the right to use OpenAI technology.

In the future, whether Microsoft can get rid of its dependence on OpenAI and build a truly competitive AI ecosystem will not be known until the MAI model is officially implemented.
