Microsoft’s AI Investments
Microsoft bet early on OpenAI, the company behind the biggest brand in large language models, ChatGPT, which has been making headlines since it first launched in 2022.
It also made investments in alternative models, including a multi-million-dollar deal with French tech startup Mistral AI last year.
Now, if reports of the company pulling back on AI sales targets prove true, it might be lowering its ambitions. The big unanswered question that this news raises — assuming the report can be confirmed — is whether this indicates that AI popularity has now peaked and will continue a decline as we head in 2026.
