Microsoft Moves to Ditch OpenAI

Microsoft is aggressively working to reduce its reliance on OpenAI by developing in-house AI models, known as MAI, that are reportedly nearing parity with industry leaders like OpenAI and Anthropic. Under Mustafa Suleyman’s leadership, Microsoft is testing alternative models for Copilot, including those from Meta, DeepSeek, and xAI. However, internal challenges, technical setbacks, and competition from OpenAI’s rapid advancements have made this transition complex.

Meta Pushes Voice AI Forward

Meta enhances voice capabilities in AI, focusing on conversational agents over text-led ones. Zuckerberg aims for Meta to lead in AI by introducing premium subscriptions and exploring advertising opportunities for Meta AI. Meta plans to launch Llama 4 with improved voice features, emphasizing a more natural dialogue and speech-native interaction.

Reflection AI Raises $130M

Reflection AI, a new startup founded by former DeepMind researchers, has raised $130 million to develop AI-powered coding agents capable of operating autonomously. Their goal is to achieve superintelligence, positioning them as a major player in the AI race. The funding includes $25 million in seed investment led by Sequoia Capital and CRV, followed by a $105 million Series A round from Lightspeed Venture Partners and CRV.

Ex-OpenAI Scientist’s $30B Startup

lya Sutskever’s new AI startup, Safe Superintelligence (SSI), has quickly become one of the most valuable companies in tech, now valued at $30 billion. The former OpenAI co-founder and chief scientist has secured $2 billion in funding, attracting major investor interest. Operating out of Silicon Valley and Tel Aviv, SSI is keeping its research and operations highly secretive.
