Online reports, The Verge reports that a reliable source familiar with Microsoft's plans revealed that Microsoft has been instructing engineers in its artificial intelligence infrastructure to prepare to host Musk's Grok AI model. In recent weeks, Microsoft has been discussing hosting the Grok model with xAI and making it available to customers and Microsoft's own product team through Azure cloud services. The move could cause controversy internally and further intensify tensions with Microsoft partner OpenAI. It is understood that if the transaction proceeds, Grok will be available on Microsoft's artificial intelligence development platform, Azure AI Foundry, which allows developers to access artificial intelligence services, tools and pre-built models to build artificial intelligence applications and agents. This will allow developers to access Grok and use it in their own applications, and Microsoft may also use the artificial intelligence model in its own applications and services.
