Breaking News: Microsoft’s Mind-Boggling Deal with Inflection AI
In a shocking turn of events, Microsoft has decided to splurge a whopping $650 million on a deal with Inflection AI. But hold onto your hats, folks, because the devil is in the details!
Microsoft’s grand plan involves shelling out $620 million to get their hands on Inflection AI’s AI models. The remaining $30 million? Well, that’s just pocket change to make sure Inflection AI doesn’t come knocking with any legal troubles related to mass hiring. Talk about buying peace of mind!
But wait, there’s more! Microsoft has poached Mustafa Suleyman, the co-founder of Google’s DeepMind and Inflection AI, to head their consumer AI business. And that’s not all - Karen Simonyan, another co-founder, along with 70 other lucky souls, have joined Microsoft’s shiny new unit, Microsoft AI. Suleyman will take the reins as CEO, while Simonyan will dazzle as the chief scientist. It’s a match made in tech heaven!
Inflection AI, on the other hand, is switching gears. After wowing users with Pi, its consumer assistant, which sadly only managed to attract a measly million daily users, the company is now eyeing the big leagues. They’re pivoting to sell their models to enterprise customers. Talk about a plot twist!
Industry experts are buzzing with excitement over this deal. They predict that just like other tech giants making waves with mega-deals, this one won’t escape the watchful eyes of antitrust regulators in the US. It’s a tech soap opera in the making!
