"If you’re building an AI native product, your primary goal is getting off of OpenAI as soon as you possibly can."

Right now you essentially have:

Customer -> business -> open-ai -> microsoft_azure

Where-as many companies don't have this extra middle-man like this now -- they are more used to this type of situation:

Customer -> business -> microsoft_azure

Hmm.. :-) seems like microsoft just absorbing the tech of open_ai into a set of models that you can use / train on etc into azure proper and forget about the middle man is likely the end game here.



Since Microsoft offers OpenAI model as part of Azure Cognitive Services, we're already in the latter situation, at least for any company that isn't playing fast and loose with its proprietary datta. The recent changes in OpenAI offering is actually undoing this / reintroducing the first chain as an option.
