Microsoft Lands Exclusive License for OpenAI's Astonishing GPT-3 Model

Microsoft is having a hell of a week. On Monday, the company announced a $7.5 billion deal to acquire Zenimax and all of its big video game properties. In one move, the Xbox platform's future suddenly looked a lot brighter. Today, Microsoft announced another deal that could also have a huge long-term impact in the coming years: It's acquired an exclusive license for OpenAI's GPT-3 language model. OpenAI has been making headlines for years--primarily due to the fact that AI-phobe Elon Musk was an early investor.
