Microsoft’s complex relationship with Openai is about to take an interesting turn. While the husband continues to re -negotiate a contract to allow Openai to restructure in a profitable company, Openai is preparing to issue an open AI model that can pay more than one wedge between the two companies.
The familiar sources tell me Openai’s plans that the CEO Sam Taman“S AI LAB” is preparing for the open weight model that will appear for the first time as soon as possible with service providers other than the Azure servers in Openai and Microsoft. Openai models are usually closed, which means that weights (a type of training parameter) are not publicly available.
The open nature of the upcoming language model in Openai means that companies and governments will be able to manage the model themselves, such as how Microsoft and other cloud service providers quickly in Deepseek earlier this year.
I understand that this new open language model will be available on Azure, embrace, and other large cloud service providers. Sources describe the form as “similar to O3 Mini”, with the possibilities of logic that made the latest Openai models very strong. Openai has been offered this open model for developers and researchers in recent months, and it was so Public feedback seam From the broader artificial intelligence community.
I contacted Openai to comment on the arrival of its open model, but the company did not respond in time to post.
It is the first time that Openai has released an open model since its release of GPT-2 in 2019, and it is also the first time that we have seen an open language model from Openai since its signing The exclusive cloud provider agreement With Microsoft in 2023. This deal means that Microsoft has access to most Openai’s models, as well as exclusive rights to sell them directly to companies through their Azure Openai services. But with an open model, there is nothing that prevents the competing cloud operators from hosting a copy of it.
As I am It was revealed in Noteman last monthThere is a complex relationship to exchange revenue between Microsoft and Openai, which includes Microsoft receiving 20 percent of the revenue that Openai for Chatgpt and API AII platform. Microsoft also shares 20 percent of AZURE OpenAi directly with Openai. This new open model of Openai has an effect on the Acting Microsoft Microsoft Acts. The open model may mean that some AZURE customers will not need more batch options, or they can even move to competing cloud service providers.
The profitable Microsoft deal has been tested in Openai in recent months. Microsoft, “Openai’s deal earlier this year to allow the artificial intelligence laboratory to do so Get his artificial intelligence account Of competitors like Oracle. Although this is limited to the servers used to build artificial intelligence models, this new open model will extend beyond the borders of ChatGPT and Azure Openai. Microsoft still has the first right to refuse to provide computing resources for Openai, but it has no control over an open language model.
Openai is preparing to announce the language model as a “open model”, but these terms, which are often confused with the open source, must be born a lot of discussion about its openness. All of this will come to what is attached to the license and whether Openai is ready to provide full access to the model code and training details, which can then be repeated by other researchers.
Homosexuality He said in March This open -weight linguistic model will reach “in the coming months.” I understand that it is now worth next week, but Openai’s launch dates often change like a wind, in response to development challenges, server capacity, artificial intelligence competing ads, and even leaks. However, I expect that for the first time this month if things go well.
- Microsoft removes up to 9,000 employees. Less than two months after the status of 6000 employees, Microsoft More discounts that will affect up to 9,000 employees have announced. This is 15,000 people who lost their jobs in Microsoft in only two months, taking the number near Microsoft’s The largest job discounts ever. The situation becomes more harsh when you look at the past two years, as Microsoft had multiple tours of workers’ demobilization and even performance -based discounts that have seriously struck morale. A lot of workers appeared randomly to the point that they have unique employees, according to many Microsoft workers who spoke to them. The latest demobilization operations affected sales and marketing teams, and led to Xbox games were canceledClosing the studio, and Severe slope discounts in Microsoft Forza Motorsport The developer. I am concerned that this is the new criterion for Microsoft, as it does not seem that the demobilization of workers slows down while the company continues to increase its investments in artificial intelligence. please Contact me anonymously to the signal If you know more details about the place where the last Microsoft discharge.
- Xbox producer says that the stipulated workers should use artificial intelligence to manage their emotions. Xbox Game Studios Matt Turnbull He had some words of advice to his former colleagues last week: Request advice from AI Chatbots. In the LinkedIn post that is now alien, Turnbull advised the 9,000 employees affected by the use of Chatgpt or Copilot “to help reduce the emotional and cognitive pregnancy that comes with job loss” and help in job planning or update a CV. Although I am sure that Turnbull had good intentions through his position, creative industries such as games are wrestling with the potential impact of Amnesty International and people who do not want to remind them of the death of artificial intelligence when they just lost their jobs.
- Microsoft teams now have thread conversations. Microsoft was finally released Topics in the channels of the difference. Team users will be able to either create leaflets or interconnection indicators in one channel, but, it seems that the owners of the team channel will have to determine the design either on the publications or interconnected indicators, depending on how to use the channel. While Microsoft merged the chat and channels experience in the difference, I still hear from ordinary users that most people use DMS Group instead of channels. I hope Microsoft will make a chat experience in the difference more like Slack, as DMS is reserved for most: 1: 1 or very small discussions, and the channels are the transfer of larger projects and conversations.
- Microsoft and Openai Training teachers. Microsoft, Openai and Anthropic funded a A training center worth 23 million dollars This will training teachers on how to use artificial intelligence tools. It is part of a “national academy for artificial intelligence”, which will provide free and free training for about two million members of the American Teachers Federation.
- Microsoft Copilot Plus features may reach desktop computers later this year. I was waiting to see when the new AI features of Windows 11 will appear on real desktop computers, and it seems about to start later this year. Intel According to what you were planned to update the CPUS Arrow Lake In the second half of 2025, the big change will be more advanced NPU that must be able to have Copilot Plus features. I didn’t like the features of Windows Ai yet, regardless of Research improvements that work in IQ artificial intelligence This makes it easier to find files and documents on a Copilot Plus computer.
- Microsoft’s Edge is now downloading the sites faster. Microsoft says it “has reached a major teacher” for the speed of the user interface in the edge browser. It now takes less than 300 milliliters To start providing the first parts of the web site, which means that the sites bear faster. I have always been a fans of Microsoft’s Edge, but she is still struggling to compete with the prevailing market share in Chrome, despite all Disturbing tricks Microsoft is employed to make people use the edge.
- Windows 11 has finally exceeded Windows 10 as the most used desktop operating system. Almost four years have passed since Windows 11 appeared for the first time, and has finally crossed an important milestone. Count Count Stat now Windows 11 as a more used version of the operating systemWith 52 percent of the market compared to about 44 percent for Windows 10. Windows 11 adoption was slowly compared to Windows 10, which may be due to the requirements of the most striking Microsoft devices. Now that the end of the end of support from Windows 10 (October 14) approaches, companies are racing to upgrade in a timely manner.
- Microsoft Authenticator ends password support. If you are using the authentication app to store passwords or automatic Begin removing this job this month. You will have to use Microsoft Edge or another password management solution instead, as Authenticator returns to the basic multi -factor authentication instead. Microsoft added support for storing the password in authenticator in 2020, and passwords will not be available in the application in August.
- Microsoft tested a more strict integration with 1PassWord keys in Windows. 1PASSWORD is a great alternative if you depend on storing the password for approval, and get better support within Windows 11. Microsoft is now testing 1password Passkey Integrading in Windows 11Allowing applications to use corridors and operating system to accurately integrate into the password manager like iOS or Android.
- The PC player gets Xbox from Microsoft with Steam, EPIC and other games that appear. The new collected gaming library appeared in the Xbox app for a personal computer at the end of last month for the laboratories, which means that Steam, Battle.net, Ubisoft, Epic Games and Riot Games are Everything now appears in the Xbox app. You can use this app to launch these games exactly as it does from its original player, such as Go Galaxy. It is part of an early Windows mobile improvement that arrives later this year.

- Activision is pulled Call of Duty The game is penetrated after the computer players are hacked. Many PC players jump back to the 2017 shooter Call of Duty: wwii I mentioned that Their computers have been at risk by infiltrators after playing the game. Activision removed the Microsoft Store version on Friday, which was an old version containing a defect in the implementation of the distant symbol that has been corrected since then. This should be a giant awakening call to Microsoft on the case of Game Pass versions of computer games. It is regular that games in the Microsoft store are older versions or have missing features, and they may have a devastating effect on some users.
