Microsoft MSFT.O is training a new, in-house AI language model large enough to compete with those from Alphabet\u2019s Google GOOGL.O and OpenAI, the Information reported on Monday.
\nThe new model, internally referred to as MAI-1, is being overseen by recently hired Mustafa Suleyman, the Google DeepMind co-founder and former CEO of AI startup Inflection, the report said, citing two Microsoft employees with knowledge of the effort.
\nMicrosoft did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
\nMicrosoft has been setting aside large cluster of servers equipped with Nvidia\u2019s NVDA.O graphic processing units along with large amounts of data to improve the model, according to the report.
\nMAI-1 will be \u201cfar larger\u201d than the previous smaller, open source models Microsoft had previously trained which means it will be more expensive, the report added.
