What happened?

Microsoft has begun replacing OpenAI’s image generation technology with its own in-house AI models across several key products, including Bing and PowerPoint.

Why it matters

These new models, developed under the internal "MAI" designation, are intended to reduce the company's reliance on external partners for core artificial intelligence features.

Detailed explanation

The transition is primarily driven by significant cost efficiencies, with the in-house models estimated to be approximately 85% cheaper to operate than OpenAI's technology.

By deploying its own architecture, Microsoft aims to optimize its cloud infrastructure expenses while maintaining the generative capabilities integrated into its productivity software and search engine.
