    From what I’m seeing in my day to day work, MS is still aggressively dedicated to AI internally.

      Context is king which is why even the biggest models get tied in knots when I try them on my niche coding problems. I've been playing a bit with NotebookLM which promises to be interesting with enough reference material but unfortunately when I tried to add the Vulcan specs it complained it couldn't accept them (copyright maybe?).

      We have recently been given clearance to use the Gemini Pro tools with Google office at work. While we are still not using them for code generation I have found the transcription and meeting summary tools very useful and certainly a time saver.

        I think deepseek shook them enough to realize what should have been obvious for a while... Brute force doesn't beat new techniques, and spending the most might not be the safest bet

        There's a ton of new techniques being developed all the time to do things more efficiently, and if you don't need a crazy context window, in many use cases you can get away with much smaller models that don't need massive datacenters

          That's compatible with a lack of faith in profitable growth opportunity.

          So far they have gone big with what I'd characterize as more evolutionary enhancements to tech. While that may find some acceptance, it's not worth quite enough to pay off the capital investment in this generation of compute. If they overinvest and hope to eventually recoup by not upgrading, they are at severe risk of being superseded by another company that saved some expenditure to have a more modest, but more up to date compute infrastructure.

          Another possibility is that they predicted a huge boom of a other companies spending on Azure hosting for AI stuff, and they are predicting those companies won't have the growth either.

            I am sure the internal stakeholders of Micro$oft's AI strategies will be the very last to know. Probably as they are instructed to clean out their desks.

              There are a few of us here who are closer to Satya‘s strategic roadmap than you might think.

                I’m sure but they’re not going to hedge on a roadmap. Roadmaps are aways full-steam-ahead.

                  Same. Big tech is still whole hog on Generative AI

                    Because investors expect it, whether it generates profit or not.

                      Why would a company or government use Azure or windows if MS is compromising it with ai?
