Meet Microsoft's in-house AI models that rival ChatGPT, DeepSeek and Gemini
Microsoft is taking a bold step toward AI independence with the release of two models developed entirely in-house. While its Copilot assistant still runs on OpenAI’s GPT tech, the new models signal Redmond’s intent to compete more directly with ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini. Here are the key takeaways:

fficiency at the core
Mustafa Suleyman, head of Microsoft AI, highlighted that MAI-Voice-1 runs on a single GPU while MAI-1-preview was trained on 15,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs—far fewer than the 100,000-plus reportedly used for xAI’s Grok.

Strategic independence
While Microsoft remains deeply invested in OpenAI, developing in-house models shows its long-term plan to reduce reliance on partners and compete head-on with OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic.
