Microsoft is seeking new solutions to reduce 365 Copilot’s dependence on OpenAI technologies. This is driven by the desire to lower costs and improve product speed for enterprise clients. According to Reuters, Microsoft is actively working on integrating other AI models into its product.
Microsoft representatives note that OpenAI remains an important partner in the field of the most advanced models, but the company has the ability to customize these models for its own needs.
We integrate a variety of models from OpenAI and Microsoft depending on the product and experience.
The company is also working on its own smaller models, such as Phi-4, and is customizing open-source models to improve the efficiency of 365 Copilot. Similar changes have already taken place in other Microsoft products, such as GitHub Copilot, where models from Anthropic and Google are used.
BNP Paribas Exane analysts note the growing popularity of 365 Copilot and predict that Microsoft will sell the product to more than ten million users this year.
