Microsoft Forms Team to Make Cheaper Generative AI

Microsoft is doubling down on artificial intelligence that’s smaller and cheaper to run than OpenAI’s.

The maker of Windows and Office has formed a new team to develop conversational AI that requires less computing power compared to software it’s using from OpenAI, according to two people with direct knowledge of it. Microsoft has moved several top AI developers from its research group to the new GenAI team, which is part of the Azure cloud server unit, the people said.
