What makes you say that?

Microsoft seems like one of the more reliable partners to build on compared to Google etc. just for the simple reason that their customers are large businesses and not breaking things for them is in their blood. Just like Windows backwards compatibility.

Would like to elaborate a bit?

Though my investment will be still tiny at the moment, but not other multi-modal model on the market right is as good.

I actually wouldn't be worried in the short term for exactly this reason. Microsoft has legal access to GPT-4 and is allowed to host and serve it via Azure. If OpenAI somehow tanks its API in the near term, MS is sitting on a gold mine and will make use of that by continuing to serve it. In the long term I am worried, but less worried if Sam and Greg form a competing co to continue to build.

People have been successfully building on MS APIs for at least four decades now. I've been for nearly three.

What exactly are you saying?

Why would you build a business that Microsoft could sherlock in a second?

Isn't Microsoft famous for their insane API stability and backwards compatibility?

While I think the sentiment is overblown, if you compare Azure to AWS, Azure's stability is like Google's.

Microsoft Azure is famous for its insanely bad security: https://karl-voit.at/cloud/

Microsoft is famous for a lack of adoption DESPITE backwards compatibility.

Do you use github?
