Ok, this is big... There was a time when Satya said Microsoft is a cloud-first company and rallied the entire company around cloud products, and we saw what happened over the past 10 years. This is probably the first time he's mentioning that Microsoft is an AI-First company, and this definitely sounds like the start of a phenomenal decade of transformation. All the pieces are coming together here - On the hardware side, you have the largest compute build-out in the world ($40B-$50B in 2024 - analysts' expectation), a new custom AI chip called Maia to tide over the NVidia shortages, crazy networking acquisitions, etc., to make Azure the best compute stack for AI. On the GenAI model side, you have the deep partnership with OpenAI, partnerships with all the open-source frontier model developers (Meta, Mistral, etc.), leadership in Small Language Models (Phi series), and the cutting-edge research that takes the existing models to the next level (Medprompt, AutoGen, Semantic Kernel, etc.). On the software and application side, you have probably one of the deepest integrations of GenAI in existing products with a massive install base - in the form of M365 Copilot and Copilot (with Bing). And now, you have this latest 'aqui-hire' with Mustafa Suleyman and a deep pool of seasoned AI talent - brought in to build out the Copilot stack even further. These are exciting times - waiting to see the symphony that Satya is creating right in front of our eyes... #msftadvocate #genai #artificialintelliegence
