    MS has more than enough cash and resources to back two horses.

    Computing necessary for training this models is not cheap and there is an obvious opportunity cost here.

    This also gives them the luxury of trying a different approach.

      Time will tell my guess is that Microsoft will sale its stake in openai or just drain openai from resources and people until it will disappear.
