Microsoft is coinuing to launch its own iernal artificial ielligence models, thus reducing its dependence on long -standing cooperation with Openai. Today, the company unveiled Mai-IMAGE-1, the first model of artificial ielligence to produce Microsoft’s iernal iernal image.
According to the published blog post, the Mai-Image-1 model is particularly skilled in creating extraordinary realistic results and can produce natural lighting and stunning landscapes. Currely, the model is being tested at LMARENA, and Microsoft has announced that it plans to “provide Mai-Mile-1” to Copilot users and the Bing Image Creator.
Previously, Microsoft took the first steps to reduce partnerships with OpenAi this summer, with the launch of its two domestic trained models, Mai-Voice-1 and MAI-1-Review. At the time, Microsoft’s artificial ielligence leader Mustafa Suleiman said in an ierview that the company launched a “huge five -year roadmap” and invests a season. So far, this roadmap seems to be running at an acceptable speed.
Microsoft adds Claud’s models of Ahropic to Copilot 365
According to news reports a few weeks ago, Microsoft Copilot is adding artificial ielligence models to Ahropic. Microsoft announced today that access to Claude models is being provided for Copilot beta users. Initially, these models are iegrated io the Researcher tool and the developme of Copilot Studio Artificial Ielligence.
Microsoft quickly emphasized in his stateme: “Copilot will still be powerful by the latest Openai models.” However, it was easy to imagine a dispute between the two companies after reports of rising tensions between the two partners earlier this moh, as well as reports of difficult negotiations.
Whether or not these rumors are true, OpenAI models like the Gpt-5 are still the main driving force of most Copilot functions … for now. But now the Researcher tool in Microsoft allows experimes to use the Claude Opus 4.1 model. The Copilot Reasoning Tool, iroduced earlier this year, is designed to help users in “handling complex and multi -step research”.
How to Activate:
- Microsoft has released a video showing a new button called Try Claude in the upper right corner of the research age’s ierface.
- Copilot Studio, a developer tool for Microsoft’s artificial ielligence ages, offers similar functionality. There, a drop -down menu allows you to choose between Openai and Ahropic models.
Ahropic iegration is currely running through the Microsoft Froier program (optional beta for artificial ielligence previews). After registration, you need to enable the option of using Ahropic. This feature is expected to be broader in the future.
Charles Lamanna of Microsoft has described the merger as exciting and promised that “Ahropic models will bring much more powerful experiences to Microsoft 365 Copilot.”
Microsoft is trying to replace “Vibe Working”
Inspired by artificial ielligence -based work curres such as “Vibe Coding”, Microsoft now iends to turn the concept of “Vibe Working” io reality (yes, this is precisely the words the company has chosen). While importa questions such as whether artificial ielligence in the workplace really creates valuable outputs or whether it endangers our brain’s learning ability, Microsoft says with confidence, “Vibe work is what it should be.”
Using the Office Age tool inside Office or Copilot Chat apps, users can start a docume with a simple command and then work along the Copilot to develop a final product. Microsoft calls this method “a new model of work for human-age cooperation.” The Age Mode tool supports workflows in Excel and Word, and Microsoft has announced that PowerPoi support will be added soon.
The company talks about the availability of “all Excel power” only to expert users and promises that an Age Mode that can “speak Excel language” will change all of these restrictions. In published data, Microsoft announced that Age Mode in Excel in the Spreadsheetbench benchmark had achieved a accuracy of 4.9 %. However, the human performance score in this test was 4.9 % (though it is unclear whether it is for ordinary or professional users). However, pois are not yet great!
Age Mode in Word also works to summarize, edit and, of course, help create a complete draft of documes. Age Mode in Excel and Word is powered by the latest Openai models. In corast, Office Age Copilot Chat is supported by ahropic models and can create Word and PowerPoi preseation in what Microsoft calls “chat-first experience”.
Age Mode for Excel and Word, as well as Office Age, are available today through the Froier program. Age Mode is currely restricted to Word and Excel web -based versions and will soon come to the desktop.
The Sora app from OpenAI reached a faster than ChatGpt to a million download
Sora, and Openai’s social networking program for videos produced by artificial ielligence, according to Soraa Preside Bill Pepes, has been downloaded more than a million times. The program says the program reached one million downloads in less than five days and operated even faster than ChatGpt. This success has been achieved despite the fact that OpenAI only launched this program in North America and needs an invitation to use it.
Sorah, similar to the tick, offers a vertical and endless feed of videos; However, Sora videos are produced by artificial ielligence rather than uploaded by users. It is possible to make a 5 -second video by just writing a text command to the Sora 2 model in the program. In addition, through the Cameo feature, you can create videos of yourself and anyone who has satisfied to share their face.
Coe Issues and Copyright Issues:
- “Soraa reached 2 million downloads in less than 5 days, even faster than ChatGpt (despite the need for invitation and focus only on North America)!”
- The limited rails that Openai puts for Soras have already led to the production of videos with poison Altman (Openai CEO) and coe that clearly violates the copyright. The fact that Sora can easily create videos of well -known characters such as Picacho, raises questions about the Openai model’s educational resources, and naturally faced a negative reaction from the eertainme industry.
In response to these concerns, it has updated Sora to corol more users how their face appears. Altman has said that Openai iends to provide similar corols to law holders and allow them to “determine how to use their characters (even not to use them)”.
Microsoft 365 Premium to deliver the value of artificial ielligence more than ChatGpt Plus
Microsoft is adding a new shared design to its price list. The new Microsoft 365 Premium design, which costs $ 5 a moh, offers the standard set of Office programs with access to the latest Openai artificial ielligence models and higher use restrictions than artificial ielligence.
Microsoft iroduces the plan as a higher value subscription than the ChatGpt Plus (which is priced at $ 5 a moh), as it also includes the advaage of Office programs and 1 terabyte of the OneDrive storage space.
Changes in subscriptions:
- Fortunately, Microsoft currely does not change its cheaper designs, such as the MS 365 Personal ($ 1 per moh) or MS 365 Family ($ 2 per moh).
- Microsoft’s represeative announced that the Copilot Pro subscription is no longer available for purchase, but existing subscribers can coinue to use it without problems. Microsoft will not automatically transfer these users to the MS 365 Premium design.
According to the company, Microsoft 365 Premium allows users to access GPT-5 and GPT-4O models, as well as advanced artificial ielligence ages such as “Actions, Researcher and Analyst”. These capabilities are comparable directly to the OpenAI design that uses ChatGPT Ages. Users of the MS 365 Premium can also test new artificial ielligence features as soon as they are available, but they will not have access to custom Openai GPTs or Soras video production capability.
