Microsoft announced today that it is expanding its partnership with OpenAI, the artificial intelligence (AI) research firm created by tech industry luminaries such as Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. The company is now working with OpenAI to bring its ChatGPT and Dall-E AI models to the Microsoft Azure cloud platform.
ChatGPT is an AI-based natural language processing system that can generate human-like conversations. The model has already been used by companies such as Microsoft and Amazon to power conversational assistants such as Microsoft's Cortana and Amazon's Alexa.
Dall-E, on the other hand, is an AI-based image generation system that can synthesize images based on natural language descriptions. It has been used by companies such as Google and Apple to power their image-based search engines.
With this expanded partnership, OpenAI will now make its ChatGPT and Dall-E models available on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform. This means that Microsoft customers will be able to use the AI models without having to build and maintain their own hardware infrastructure. Microsoft and OpenAI have also announced plans to collaborate on research and development in order to improve upon the existing models and create new ones. This collaboration could further expand the capabilities of the AI models and help make them more accessible to a wider range of customers.
The expanded partnership between Microsoft and OpenAI is a major step forward for AI technology. By enabling customers to access AI models on the cloud, it could open the door for more widespread usage of AI in a variety of industries.
