A year after solidifying its partnership with AI research giant OpenAI by revealing that it will exclusively license the powerful GPT-3 language model, Microsoft showed what it plans to do with the license with the preview of its Azure Open AI Service. The service gives language model customers access to enterprise capabilities such as security, compliance and scale requirements. Microsoft also entered the competition for which vendor can build the largest language model by partnering with Nvidia to introduce the DeepSpeed and Megatron-powered Megatron-Turing Natural Language Generation Model. Both vendors claim that it is the largest and the most powerful language model so far. Soon after the birth of the Microsoft-Nvidia alliance, Nvidia competitor SambaNova said it would also provide a GPT AI-powered language model as part of its Dataflow-as-a-Service product for language.
