Recently, the two businesses have increased their cooperation, and there are reports that Microsoft would increase its investment in Open AI.

Microsoft announced that it would soon incorporate OpenAI's well-known AI bot ChatGPT itself into the Azure service, which is hosted on the cloud. Microsoft software behemoth also announced the 'general availability' of its own Azure OpenAI Service, offering gives users access to a variety of AI technologies for use in their own apps. This announcement comes amid speculation that the company, which was previously disclosed in 2019, is looking to boost its $1 billion stake in OpenAI.

On Tuesday morning, CEO Satya Nadella tweeted, 'ChatGPT is coming shortly to the Azure OpenAI Program, which is now broadly available, as we enable customers apply the world's most cutting-edge Intelligent algorithms to their specific business imperatives.'

With the new modifications, ChatGPT itself—rather than merely the technology that powers it—will soon be accessible via Microsoft's cloud. The GPT-3.5 language system, on which ChatGPT is based, and the Dall-E model for producing art from text prompts are now available to users of the Azure Service.

Microsoft Corp. announced on Monday that it was extending access to wildly popular software created by OpenAI, a business it supports and whose ChatGPT has captured Silicon Valley's imagination.

Following the debut of its text-based chatbot in November that can generate prose, poetry, and even computer code at will, public benefit in OpenAI had increased. It uses artificial intelligence that generates fresh material after being trained on enormous amounts of data.

The business has stated that it screens customers' apps to prevent potential software abuse, as well as its filters can check for hazardous content that users may enter or those that the technology itself may make.

At a time when funding is otherwise limited, the commercial viability of this kind of software has attracted significant venture capital investment in firms generating it.

Several Million Users

Since its launch at the end of November, ChatGPT has exploded into the internet, acquiring its first ever million subscribers in less than a week. Speculation over its potential to displace freelance writers and perhaps endanger Google's main search operation was spurred by its approximation of human discourse.

Elon Musk and Silicon Valley investor Sam Altman co-founded the organisation that's behind it, and it generates revenue by charging developers to licence its technology.

The launch of the new technology caps off a year of notable advancements in AI. The business's Dall-E, which uses textual instructions to create art and other visuals, also sparked a heated discussion over the integration of ai technologies into the creative industry. A GPT-4 replacement model for OpenAI's natural language processing is already under development.

However, apprehension over its accuracy—which Mr Altman himself claimed was insufficient for the bot to be trusted—has led to caution over its premature usage, and ChatGPT access has been restricted in New York City schools.

The Copilot programming tool from Microsoft's GitHub unit is now being automated using OpenAI's Codex, and this capability is being added to Azure alongside the other OpenAI tools. In its Teams chat programme, Bing search engine, Business productivity suites, and security tools, the corporation aim to incorporate even more OpenAI technologies.
