Microsoft said it will add OpenAI’s popular artificial intelligence bot ChatGPT to its cloud-based Azure service in the near future. The software giant also announced ‘general availability’ of its Azure OpenAI service, which gives customers access to various AI tools for use in their own applications. The news comes amid reports that the company is looking to add to the already announced $1 billion stake in OpenAI in 2019.
CEO Satya Nadella tweeted Tuesday morning, “ChatGPT coming soon to Azure OpenAI service, now generally available, as we help customers apply the world’s most advanced AI models to their own businesses.” We do.”
With the new changes, ChatGPT itself – not just its underlying technology – will soon be available through Microsoft’s cloud. Users of the Azure service already have access to tools based on the GPT-3.5 language system such as ChatGPT and the Dall-E model for generating images from text signals.
Microsoft Corp said Monday it is expanding its reach to wildly popular software from OpenAI, a startup whose futuristic ChatGPT has captivated Silicon Valley.
Public interest in OpenAI was heightened following the November release of a text-based chatbot that can compose prose, poetry or even draft computer code on command. It is powered by generative artificial intelligence and adds new content after training on large amounts of data.
The company has said that it was screening customer applications to reduce potential misuse of the software, and that its filters screen for harmful content that users may input or the technology may produce.
The commercial potential of such software has garnered massive venture-capital investment in the startups that build it, at a time when funding has otherwise dried up.
