Microsoft already had competitive models, especially Megatron-Turing. They were even using on Bing Chat before... I'm pretty sure they still use their model on Bing Chat today (Balanced mode).

It was a competitive model for the time, it was made in 2021 if I recall in cooperation with Nvidia. The largest model at the time (and still remains one of the largest models ever made).

The thing here is that OpenAI managed to create GPT4 - that no one matched yet.

Yup, I took remember taydolf swiftler from way back when. Hey even if it didn't pan out, it still shows they'vd been trying and innovating for a while

Similar for Cortana.

Now, I don't like any of those products, but, still, effort is seen.
