Microsoft Aims to Create Large Cutting-Edge AI Models By 2027

Microsoft Corp. aims to develop large, cutting-edge artificial intelligence models by next year, part of a push to build in-house alternatives to the most powerful AI tools from OpenAI and Anthropic.

“We must deliver the absolute frontier,” Mustafa Suleyman, chief executive officer of Microsoft AI, said in an interview. “Certainly by 2027, the objective is to really get to state-of-the-art” across models that can respond to or generate text, images and audio.
