Microsoft (MSFT) has been in discussions in recent weeks with xAI to host the Grok AI model and make it available to customers and Microsoft’s own product teams through the Azure cloud service, according to Tom Warren of The Verge. Microsoft has been instructing engineers working on its AI infrastructure to “get ready to host Elon Musk’s Grok AI model,” according to a trusted source familiar with the plans, said Warren. If the deal proceeds, Grok will be available on Azure AI Foundry, Microsoft’s AI development platform, but such a move “could prove controversial internally and further inflame tensions with Microsoft’s partner OpenAI,” the report added.
