Microsoft and OpenAI broke up — now they’re ready to fight
At Microsoft Build, Microsoft announced a wave of new AI efforts including a super app, in-house reasoning models, a cybersecurity tool, and OpenClaw-style AI agents, signaling a more aggressive push beyond its long-running OpenAI dependence.
