Microsoft is building LLM more powerful than Google, OpenAI’s, report says

Microsoft is reportedly working on an in-house large language model (LLM) that may be more powerful than Google and OpenAI’s. Recently the new model, named as MAI-1, is being overseen by Mustafa Suleyman, the Google DeepMind co-founder and former CEO of AI startup Inflection. Reports suggest that MAI is citing two Microsoft employees with knowledge of the effort.

Is MAI-I better than OpenAI?

Reuters reported that the MAI-1 will have roughly 500 billion parameters while OpenAI’s GPT-4 is reported to have one trillion parameters and Phi-3 mini measures 3.8 billion parameters. The new MAI-I is expected to drain out more data as it will be using high computing powers.
