Microsoft Developing In-House LLM

Microsoft's decision to develop their own in-house LLM marks a significant move, considering their previous reliance on OpenAI's chat GPT. This strategic shift has led to speculation about their motivations, whether to reduce dependency on OpenAI or prepare for future developments like AGI. Acquiring the Inflection team indicates a serious commitment. By owning their LLM development, Microsoft aims to secure their supply chain and avoid vulnerabilities, similar to the issues faced during Sam Almond's departure.
