Elon Musk made, despite being involved in a lawsuit with Microsoft and OpenAi, a virtual appearance on Microsoft's Build Developer Conference in Seattle. Musk's Grok Ai Chatbot is now being hosted on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform.
“It is fantastic to have you at our developer conference,” said Nadella during a pre -recorded conversation with Musk.
The collaboration places Musk's Grok AI on the same platform as rival models of OpenAI, Meta platforms and other global AI developers such as Mistral, Deepseek and Black Forest Labs.
Legal feud does not keep cooperation
The appearance of Musk came as a surprise, given his constant legal battle with Microsoft and OpenAi. Musk was co-founder of OpenAi in 2015, but later separated and has since been critical of the direction of the company and the narrow ties with Microsoft. In 2023 he brought a lawsuit against OpenAi, who the accuser of leaving the foundation principles and changing a profit -driven company.
Musk now runs his own artificial intelligence company, Xai, who launched Grok as a direct competitor of OpenAi's Chatgpt.
The recent controversy of Grok is not mentioned
The announcement came only a few days after Xai was forced to repair grock after complaints from users that the chatbot repeatedly raised racially sensitive topics, including “white genocide” and South African politics. The company later blamed the problem of a “unauthorized adjustment” by an employee. Musk, who was born in South Africa and responded to such topics himself, did not tackle the incident during his exchange with Nadella.
Instead, Musk emphasized the importance of transparency in the AI development: “We have and will make mistakes, but we strive to correct them very quickly,” said Musk, adding that honesty is “the best policy” for AI safety.
Sam Altman from OpenAi is also on stage
Earlier at the same conference, OpenAi CEO Sam Altman also appeared in a separate live video chat with Nadella. Microsoft remains the largest financial and infrastructure partner in OpenAI and integrates its tools into products such as Bing and Github.
Github launches AI coding agent in the midst of fired
In the meantime, Github from Microsoft used the Build event to reveal a new AI “agent” to help programmers. In contrast to the existing Copilot assistant, the new tool is designed to be able to handle autonomously more complex tasks within existing code bases autonomously.
It is intended to “provide boring tasks”, so that developers “can concentrate on the interesting work,” said Github's announcement. The agent is optimized for tasks with low to medium complexity in well -tested software environments.
The cheerful announcements only come a week after Microsoft started to dismiss around 6,000 employees worldwide – about 3% of his workforce.
