Microsoft is looking to split with OpenAI. It is developing its own models, and OpenAI has been unwilling to share details, as was agreed. Copilot, based on ChatGPT, has thus far received poor reception due to high cost and limited results. See: gizmodo.com/microsofts-r... 🧪 #AcademicSky

Microsoft's Relationship With OpenAI Is Not Looking Good

The major investor in OpenAI has been looking to cut ties as the two companies start looking more like competitors.

OpenAI Admits That Its New Model Still Hallucinates More Than a Third of the Time

If a partner made stuff up a third of the time, it would be a problem — but apparently, it's perfectly fine for OpenAI's new model.
