OpenAI takes over Microsoft’s generative artificial intelligence research
Microsoft lost an artificial intelligence expert and OpenAI gained one, after the previous’s vice chairman for generative artificial intelligence research, Sebastian Bubeck, left for the latter. Information was the primary to report the move and This was also confirmed by Reuters leaving Microsoft.
We know Bubeck as considered one of the lead authors of papers describing Microsoft’s Phi models, a series of very small language and vision models designed to assist push AI applications to edge devices. This sort of expertise is increasingly essential as large, centralized models like OpenAI’s GPT-4o cave in in some markets to on-device models that run quickly, privately and offline.
While Bubeck’s latest role at OpenAI continues to be under wraps, it seems likely that he might be working on the performance and small model aspect of things – a corner of the AI world where OpenAI is currently less visible.
