Microsoft made its biggest bet on AI through its OpenAI partnership — initial $1 billion in 2019, expanded multiple times since, and access to OpenAI's models for use in Microsoft products. That access shows up as Copilot: Microsoft 365 Copilot in Word, Excel, and Outlook, GitHub Copilot for code, Windows Copilot in the OS, and Bing Chat / Copilot for search. On the infrastructure side, Azure OpenAI Service hosts GPT models for enterprise customers, and Azure AI Foundry packages model serving, fine-tuning, and agent tooling. Microsoft also runs its own AI research through Microsoft Research and the Phi small-model family. Stories cover Copilot product changes, Azure AI announcements, the OpenAI relationship as it evolves, Mustafa Suleyman's AI division, and enterprise adoption data from Microsoft customers.
