OpenAI Is Eating Microsoft’s Lunch
Microsoft has somehow managed to have another Cortana moment. Despite its AI assistant, Copilot, being built into Windows machines and compatible with the Microsoft 365 ecosystem that millions of people are stuck with, it simply cannot get people to love the in-house option. According to a new report, ChatGPT has managed to rack up about […]
Meta Is Building Massive Gigawatt Data Centers as It Pours Billions Into AI
