Inside Microsoft's Magenta 1

Being a multi-agent AI system, Magenta 1 uses Microsoft's open-source auto-generation framework to autonomously perform complex tasks. With a combination of four specialized agents and GPT-4 from OpenAI, recommendations for secure deployment are in place, especially for sensitive data.

Orion vs GPT-4: The Debate in OpenAI

OpenAI's upcoming Orion model may not show significant improvements over GPT-4 as high-quality training data decreases. This encourages the use of synthetic data. Despite some sentiments of slowdown, OpenAI is developing strategies to maintain progress in model improvements.

Rise of AI: Pitfalls of 'Lazy' Users

AI usage is on the rise with a spotlight on 'lazy' use, leading to plenty of online data generated by older AI models, which produces repetitive, low-quality output. Incorporating synthetic data and reasoning capabilities in future AI models are key suggestions to improve performance.

Jordan Wilson [00:00:17]:
OpenAI has expanded partnerships with the US government. Salesforce has hired 1,000 humans to sell AI. What will new president-elect Donald Trump's impact on AIB? And is Microsoft giving up on Copilot Pro? We're gonna be answering those questions and a lot more today on everyday AI. What's going on y'all? My name is Jordan Wilson, and I'm the host of everyday AI, and this thing is for you. It is your daily livestream podcast and free daily newsletter helping us all learn and leverage generative AI to grow our companies and our careers. So if that sounds like you, you are in the right place. If you're listening to the podcast, please make sure as always to check out your show notes for more information. Most importantly, a link to our website, please.

Jordan Wilson [00:01:07]:
If you haven't already, go to your everydayai.com and sign up for that free daily newsletter. Each and every day, we recap the day's episode as well as give you all of the information that you need happening in the world of AI because there is a ton. Speaking of a ton happening in the world of AI, we do the AI news that matters show almost every single Monday like today, even though it's technically as I record this. I'm in the future. I'm I'm wrapping up a nice little 10 day, trip for celebrating my 10 year anniversary with my wife. So, super excited for all of you that continue to, you know, tune in and and left me some, nice comments. I very much appreciate that. But I will be back in Chicago in, like, 36 hours.

Jordan Wilson [00:01:52]:
And speaking of Chicago, still getting this piece figured out, but should be at the Microsoft conference. So if you're gonna be, at the Microsoft conference next week, I believe it kicks off November 19th here in Chicago. Do let me know because, yeah, I I believe we'll, I'll be attending at least, may even be broadcasting live. So, make sure to pay, attention for updates on that. Alright. Enough chitchat y'all. Let's get into the AI news that matters for the week of November 11th. And, again, apologies y'all.

Jordan Wilson [00:02:22]:
I'm in a hotel room. I don't have my normal sound equipment, camera, lighting, all that stuff, and my I I got completely burned. Right? So if you're joining the livestream, you're like, why why is, why is your face so red? It's because I have been enjoying some sunshine. Alright. Let's get into it. So the federal government has expanded its use of OpenAI's ChatGPT technology. So according to reports from FedScoop, the federal government is increasingly investing in generative AI technology, particularly through partnerships with open AI. So a lot of federal organizations, according to this report, are now starting to use the enterprise version of Chattopty.

Jordan Wilson [00:03:05]:
That includes NASA. So NASA has committed to using open AI's tools, having acquired an annual license for ChatGPT enterprise after initial test last year. The IRS, the internal revenue service, just bought a 150, according to reports, a 150 ChatGPT enterprise licenses, for the department of treasury, although details on that remains unclear. Also, Los Alamos National, Laboratory is also utilizing, is it laboratory? Yeah. Laboratory is utilizing ChatGPT Enterprise as part of its research collaboration with OpenAI. So OpenAI's vice president of global affairs revealed that the US agency for international development was the first federal customer for Chatt GPT Enterprise as the company aims to make its technology more accessible to federal agencies. So OpenAI is also partnering with the Air Force Research, Laboratory Laboratory. There we go.

Jordan Wilson [00:04:02]:
There's the word. I told y'all. I was I was I was on vacation. So to explore how Jed AI can reduce administrative burdens and enhance efficiency in military operations. So this partnership marks OpenAI's first collaboration within the depart, the defense department, though it has worked with other components previously. So the spokesperson from OpenAI assured that the collaboration right now between the US, federal governments and, OpenAI is only involving unclassified systems adhering to usage policies that prohibit horrible applications of their technology. But y'all, let me just say this. For all those companies out there and and maybe this is your company, maybe it's not.

Jordan Wilson [00:04:49]:
But for all companies who are like, oh, our our our data is is too sensitive for ChatGPT enterprise. Like, no. It's not. Right? You you probably use a cloud service. You use Microsoft Cloud, Google Cloud, etcetera. It is the same technology. So, yeah, companies hire us, you you know, to teach them ChatGPT enterprise, and the, security is just like you would see, like I said, out of cloud storage. So if your company lives on the cloud, which all almost all companies do, right, yeah, you might have some things on prem, some things off prem.

Jordan Wilson [00:05:21]:
But for the most part, I mean, even the federal government is using ChatGPT enterprise. So, yeah, like, why aren't you why isn't your company? Let me know in the comments, actually. I'm always curious. Alright. Our next piece of AI news that matters, Salesforce, according to reports, is hiring over 1,000 human workers to sell its new AI products. Interesting. Right? So, Salesforce according to, Salesforce according to Bloomberg is planning to hire more than 1,000 employees to support the launch of its new AI agent product, Agent Force. So Salesforce CEO, Marc Benoff, highlighted that Agent Force, which became available only 2 weeks ago, is already receiving incredible feedback from users.

Jordan Wilson [00:06:11]:
So Agent Force is designed to automate tasks such as customer support and sales development without the need for human intervention, marking a strategic shift in Salesforce's AI strategy. Right. Yeah. Isn't that a little wild? Right? Like, Salesforce has always been about humans selling things, and now they have an AI agent force, product that is, you know, kind of AI taking over sales jobs, but they're hiring a 1000 humans to sell it. So I don't know. Call me crazy. I think this would have been a great use case for Salesforce to use Agent Force to sell, Agent Force. Right? So I I don't know.

Jordan Wilson [00:06:49]:
It seems like, at least to me, let me know if this seems a little backwards to you. I mean, first of all, great. In the age of, you know, AI first and, you know, everyone's worried about, you know, AI taking jobs, and it will take a ton of jobs. So, I guess kudos to Salesforce for, planning to hire a thousand more people, but for how long? Right? If it's Agent Force product is, as revolutionary as it claims that it is, it can perform all of these tasks that would normally a human would normally do inside of Salesforce. But, yeah, if it is that revolutionary, why are we hiring a a 1000 humans to sell it? Shouldn't agent force just sell itself through agent force? Well, I don't know. Maybe maybe not. So Salesforce has been focused on controlling sales expenses in recent years, which has included job cuts job cuts and encouraging customers to explore self-service options. So, yeah, a lot going on in the AI agent, space.

Jordan Wilson [00:07:51]:
We had a couple of shows in the last 2 weeks on this. So other tech giants, including ServiceNow, Anthropic, Microsoft are also developing similar autonomous agents, intensifying competition in that AI space. So, Benoff has openly criticized Microsoft's AI efforts, particularly its copilot product, suggesting that Salesforce aims to differentiate itself through superior offerings. And let me just put this out there. I see what he's doing. I see what the CEO, Mark Benoff is doing by criticizing Copilot. But I don't think most people are going to fall for this ploy. If I'm being honest, I think what he's doing is is smart.

Jordan Wilson [00:08:41]:
I would be doing the exact same thing. Right? If you want to compete with the best, you try to pick a fight with the leader in the space. And I do think at least in early AI autonomous agents, it is going to be Microsoft who is winning. They have their copilot studio, with autonomous AI agents rolling out this fall. I'm sure we'll see, some announcements at the Ignite conference here in Chicago from Microsoft next week. So it makes sense that, Benoit is is is kind of, you know, pitting Salesforce against Microsoft. It makes perfect sense, but I think he's just doing it really just to draw attention to agent force. And I don't think it's, you know, I don't think necessarily one is better than the other.

Jordan Wilson [00:09:29]:
I think they obviously serve 2 very different purposes. Alright. Excuse me while I take a sip of water and, you know, might be coughing here. Alright. Fantastic. We're back. Alright. So, our next piece of AI news, a big win for OpenAI in court.

Jordan Wilson [00:09:51]:
As a court dismissed a copyright lawsuit against OpenAI. So the Southern District of New York has dismissed a lawsuit filed by Raw Story Media Incorporated in Alternet Media Inc against OpenAI. So this ruling is noteworthy as it addresses the legality of using scraped content from the web for training AI models. So the lawsuit claimed that OpenAI violate, violated action 1202 b of the DC, the DMCA, which is the alternate without preserving copyright management information or CMI. But the judge dismissed the case, stated that the plaintiffs failed to demonstrate concrete harm caused by OpenAI's action, which is a crucial requirement for standing in a lawsuit. So the judge highlighted that generative AI models like ChatGPT just synthesize information rather than reproduce it verbatim, making claims of direct infringement just speculative. So this dismissal aligns with other cases where courts have struggled to apply traditional copyright laws to generative AI technologies emphasize icing the challenges of proving copyright violations in this evolving landscape. So the ruling suggests that without clear evidence of harm or exact reproduction of copyrighted works, that plaintiffs may face difficulties in pursuing similar claims in the future.

Jordan Wilson [00:11:32]:
As courts navigate these complex issues, content creators may need to consider licensing agreements to protect their work and ensure proper compensation for use in AI training datasets. Yeah. Here's let me just cut this one very straight. Large language models scrape copyrighted information from the Internet. Period. Point blank. Right? Don't have time to even explain in into great detail, but a good majority of the information that gets into large language models is scraped content from the web that is copyrighted. But so far, there hasn't really been a marquee lawsuit going against, these big AI companies, for copyright infringement, and I personally, don't see that happening anytime soon, at least not for a text based model.

Jordan Wilson [00:12:18]:
When we get into images, I think I think we might see, I think we might see that, just because you're literally seeing it sometimes spit out, direct replicas, you know, artists' signatures, things like that, but I don't see it happening right now for text to text, large language models. Alright. Our next piece of AI news, Trump's return to the White House could reshape AI policy. So as Donald Trump prepares for his potential return to the presidency after winning the 2024 presidential election. The landscape of AI is really changing and up in the balance on what's going to happen with a new administration in charge. So Trump's first major action on AI is expected to be the repeal of president Biden's executive order on AI, which aim to address civil rights in national security threats while promoting innovation. Trump's views on AIs have shifted between admiration and concern particularly regarding competition with China, which he identifies as a major threat for the race for advanced AI develop moment. Also, there's division within Trump's own circle.

Jordan Wilson [00:13:36]:
So this is according to reports from time in a lot of other organizations, kind of, you know, as an example, Elon Musk may be taking a, visible position in Elon or sorry, in, president Trump's cabinet. And he's expressing, existential concerns about AI while others like Trump's VP, JD Vance are advocates for fewer regulations and open models. So, yeah, it should be interesting to see how this pans out. The other thing which we talked about last week, the future of the USAI Safety Institute, which was established under Biden to lead AI safety efforts. The future of that department remains uncertain with some Republicans viewing it as an obstacle to innovation, and their funding is running out. So that, kind of the US has been a little different. So we had the Biden executive order. We had the USAI Safety Institute, but we don't technically have any real federal laws or, aside from the USAI Safety Institute, we don't have a federal governing body.

Jordan Wilson [00:14:45]:
Right? So it it is really a a tumultuous time right now for people in the AI and tech industries on what's going to happen now, in January with Trump as the president again and what some of his new policies may entail. So as an example, there's going to be, reportedly an increased tariff on imports, which is a central part of Trump's campaign, but that could inadvertently raise costs for AI related hardware impacting just about every single big tech company and every single company in, Silicon Valley. So, a lot of reports are saying, hey. Your next laptop or smartphone could cost a lot more. So as an example, the Consumer Technology Association warns that prices could skyrocket. Laptops could nearly double in price. Game consoles could go up 40%, and smartphones could go up by 26%. So these, tariffs, on imports could really affect those in the AI industry as well.

Jordan Wilson [00:15:48]:
Reportedly anywhere from 10 to 20% tariffs, or up to 60% tariffs for goods coming in from China specifically. So, that should be very interesting to see how this impacts huge companies such as NVIDIA, Microsoft, Alphabet, especially those who have hardware partnerships coming in from overseas, because what that kind of what's that, what's being reported is that cost for AI will have to go up because the hardware costs associated, with producing these state of the art AI models are going to go up, and that cost has to get passed on to someone. So, should be pretty interesting to see how this pans out, also with people like Elon Musk potentially having a huge say, for AI policy could be interesting because, as polarizing as Elon Musk is, he has his own interest. Right? He has, his Grok AI model. So, you know, we'll see what actually happens here, but we'll obviously be covering it, in the coming months. So, Trump may also seek to address what he perceives as political biases in AI algorithms, potentially leading to executive orders that could alter how tech companies operate and develop their AI systems. So like I said, the influence of prominent tech figures, including Elon Musk and others, will play a critical role in shaping Trump's AI policies, highlighting a shift in Silicon Valley's approach to collaboration with the government on national security issues. Alright.

Jordan Wilson [00:17:32]:
Our next piece of AI news that matters, Microsoft is adjusting Copilot Pro. Like, are they getting rid of it? Well, maybe, kind of, at least for certain countries. So Microsoft has announced that it will start including Copilot Pro features in its Microsoft 365 personal and family subscriptions in some countries, a move that comes after feedback from users regarding the previous $20 a month charge for these AI powered tools. So right now, this change currently applies to subscribers in Australia where I just was, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand. So a lot of countries there suggesting a trial phase before potential broader implementation. So, here's how it could work. So subscribers will receive a monthly allocation of AI credits to use Copilot in various other applications, including Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, and the new Microsoft Designer app. But doesn't mean you get it for free.

Jordan Wilson [00:18:39]:
So the price of Microsoft 365 personal and family subscriptions will reportedly increase with specific hikes, such as, as an example, 4, 4 Australian dollars for family subscriptions or 5 Australian dollars per month for personal subscriptions, so effective upon the next renewal date. So this price adjustment is part of Microsoft's strategy to reflect the added value over the past decade and to fund future innovations. The company's previous attempts to charge an additional $20 per month for Copilot Pro was met with a little bit of skepticism indicating that this new approach may be more palatable for consumers. So my will extend to the US or European markets indicating that this selective rollout may be a precursor to wider adjustments. So, yeah, I'm guessing we will see, at the Microsoft conference, November 19th in Chicago. Like I said, let me know if if if you're gonna be there at the Microsoft Ignite conference, in my hometown of Chicago. So I'm sure we'll be hearing a little bit more, on Microsoft's future plan for Copilot Pro. And is that still going to be a thing? I think it's been great for Mac users such as myself, although I'm in the middle of probably switching over, to a PC.

Jordan Wilson [00:20:05]:
I'll probably be buying 1, within a week or so once I get back, to the US in, like, 36 hours. I think it's actually been a pretty good product. Right? $20 a month, unlimited. Right? Yes. You still have to have your Microsoft subscription to use those Microsoft products on Mac. So I think this really is going to be, impacting those that aren't, you know, using Microsoft 365 at at at your work. But most people, I'd say the overwhelming majority of people are already using Microsoft 365, Pro. And if you are, then you are probably using, Microsoft 365 Copilot as well.

Jordan Wilson [00:20:44]:
So this maybe may not, be impacting a huge percentage of users. However, for some people like myself, right, I currently pay $20 a month for Copilot Pro, as well as my, you know, Microsoft subscription. So, yeah, it it is going to be impacting a lot of people. But, yeah, I'm I'm curious. Do you guys out there, do you use the free version of Microsoft, Copilot? Do you use the Microsoft Copilot Pro, or are you using that Microsoft 365 Copilot? Alright. Our next piece of AI news. Google accidentally leaked its Jarvis AI, an upcoming web browsing agent. So Google has recently kind of leaked details about its upcoming AI agent called Jarvis AI, which is designed to assist users by browsing the web on their behalf in Chrome.

Jordan Wilson [00:21:42]:
So, we talked about this on the show last week, but an internal preview of Jarvis AI was posted on the Chrome extension store, but was quickly removed indicating that Google may have accidentally released it a little too early and maybe in the final stages of development. So the prototype was described as a helpful companion that serves surfs the web with you, suggesting a focus on enhancing user experience during online activities like shopping and travel planning. So users who managed to download the prototype in time while it was still up on the Chrome Web Store found it unusable due to specific access permission requirements hinting at the complexity of the AI's functionality. The official unveiling of Jarvis AI is expected in December according to reports from the information, which adds to the anticipation surrounding this tool. So, yeah, we'll actually see if it even keeps the name Jarvis AI. As we talked about before, there was another pretty popular, GPT writing product called Jarvis for a couple of years. They reportedly got hit with a little lawsuit from Disney and Marvel and then had to change their name to Jasper. So we'll see if, Google still calls it Jarvis AI or something else.

Jordan Wilson [00:22:56]:
But Jarvis AI, through the Chrome extension, aims to automate web browsing tasks, allowing users to focus on more important matters such as holiday shopping by handling the mundane tasks such as purchasing gifts. So this development follows a trend in AI where companies like Anthropic are releasing similar products indicating a growing market for AI agents capable of performing tasks autonomously. Yeah. And if you are interested in the anthropics, version of this, it's called, computer use. We did a dedicated show, about 2 weeks ago walking you through step by step exactly how to use this computer use from Anthropic. It was extremely buggy, but I do think it, shows some promise. Speaking of agents, Microsoft, not just Copilot Studio. They released another new multi a new multi agent AI system for enterprises called magent Magenta 1.

Jordan Wilson [00:24:07]:
So Microsoft has introduced Magenta 1, a multi agent AI system designed to automate complex tasks that typically require human intervention. So Magenta 1 is built on Microsoft's open source auto gen framework and aims to handle open ended web and file based tasks with future plans for more complex reasoning tasks. So right now, it is an open source multi agent AI system designed to coordinate multiple AI agents to complete complex tasks. So developers and researchers can access it right now on GitHub under a custom Microsoft license. So, yeah, this isn't something for the everyday person. You do have to be a little bit more technical. You have to know your way around a GitHub repo, and, you know, kind of yeah. You gotta be a little bit of a dork to use this one, but let's talk a little bit more about it.

Jordan Wilson [00:24:57]:
So the system features an orchestrator agent that directs 4 specialized agents. So web surfer, file surfer, coder, and computer terminal to officially complete assigned tasks. So each of these 4 sub agents has distinct functions. So for example, web surfer, like you can guess it, manages tasks in web browsers, while coder specializes in, you guess it, writing and executing code. So currently, Magento 1 uses GPT 4 o from OpenAI as its underlying large language model, but can be integrated with other models that possess strong reasoning capabilities. So the company advises users to take precautions when deploying the system, including isolating agents in containers and limiting their Internet access to mitigate risk. Yeah. It's like, hey.

Jordan Wilson [00:25:47]:
These things can be powerful. Go put them in a sandbox by themselves. Don't let them play with other kids or don't let them play with, live important data that is connected to other parts of your company. Also, Microsoft said a human supervisor is recommended to oversee the agents, particularly when handling sensitive data. So I have not yet had a chance to play with Majestic 1. And hey. Let me know, audience, livestream audience. Some of these things are pretty technical.

Jordan Wilson [00:26:30]:
So let me know if you do want to see something like this. Alright. There we go. Our last AI news story. OpenAI is reportedly facing some challenges with slowing AI improvements. So a recent report from the information indicates that OpenAI's next flagship model is codenamed, Orion, and it may not showcase the same level of advancements as previous iterations, raising concerns about the future of AI development. So according to reports from the information, employees testing the Orion model noted that while it outperforms existing models, the improvements are less significant compared to the leap from GPT 3 to GPT 4. So, if you haven't been following along, this Orion model is, the next model.

Jordan Wilson [00:27:30]:
This is the codename for the next model in the GPT series. So as a reminder, the reasoning model, it is not in the GPT series. OpenAI said that that is its own. So the o one model. So right now, we have access to o one preview and o one mini. It is a reasoning model. So that was, previously codenamed QStar, then strawberry, and was released as o one preview and o one mini. So with Orion, it is not a reasoning model, at least not that we know of.

Jordan Wilson [00:28:02]:
It is a GPT model. So GPT 3, GPT 4, and presumably Orion will be either a GPT 45 or GPT5. So, specifically, some OpenAI employees who tested the new model called Orion say it performs at a similar level to gbt 4 after only 20% of its training, which I would say is actually pretty impressive. Right? But you read the headline and, you you know, all the news, it's it's saying, oh, the the the this AI improvement has slowed down according to this. I I don't know. I don't see it, but let's continue talking about it. So, however, the improvements they said, employees that tested this, we're speaking anonymously to the information, they said the improvement isn't as big as the jump was from GPT 3 to GPT 4, which suggests that making models better by simply adding more data might be getting harder now that there's less high quality data available. So in some areas, including coding, Orion may not consistently outperform prior models suggesting a slowdown in the rate of AI enhancements.

Jordan Wilson [00:29:15]:
So to address these challenges, OpenAI has established a foundations team tasked with developing new strategies to sustain model improvements despite a decreasing availability of fresh training data. So, reportedly, these strategies may involve training Orion using synthetic data generated by AI models such as o one. Right? These reasoning models, they said that they said that they are going to use, the o one or the o series of models as, to create new sin synthetic training data for the GPT models. So OpenAI has not confirmed any of this or they've not confirmed plans to release, you know, a GPT 5 or Orion, in 2025 responding to inquiries with a statement indicating no immediate rollout. One important thing to note about this article is it did quote Noam Brown, a researcher at OpenAI. So he was apparently quoted in the article, from a TED talk that he gave. However, on Twitter, someone did ask him about this, and he kind of deflected the overall sentiment of this article, which I found interesting, saying, quote, in the TED AI talk that I gave, which they, the information, selectively quoted in the article, I make the case that there won't be a slowdown in AI progress anytime soon. So pretty inter thing there.

Jordan Wilson [00:30:50]:
Even one of the people quoted in this article by name was quoted from a TED Talk, and then, the researcher himself responded and said, hey. Actually, it seems like they just pulled a a quote that didn't tell the whole story because actually in that talk, he specifically said that there would not be any slowdown in the AI space. My hot take, absolutely not. Absolutely not. I do think that the improvements from a GPT 4 to a GPT 5 will actually be smaller. If if if you just look at, the model quality just because, yeah, it's it's it's data. You do need a model that can reason, because, you you know, you can only get so far with essential, like right? Like, large language models are essentially just, advanced next token prediction. Right? Like, times a million, it's much more complicated than that.

Jordan Wilson [00:31:44]:
But if the quality of the training data doesn't drastically improve, to get better outputs from said GPT models, you have to start introducing, either synthetic data from a reasoning model like o one, which kind of uses this under the hood chain of thought reasoning like a human would. Right? So instead of, you know, having to prompt engineer, a GPT model or a Gemini model or a a quad model. Right? The the o one model kind of does that by itself. Right? It does kind of the work that a human would normally do to get superior and better outputs from a a GPT model. So, I I do think that they to see a a sizable leap from a GPT 4 to a GPT 5 or a GPT 4.5. Yeah. You're gonna have to either use synthetic data because there's not enough high quality, new data that's being created on a yearly basis. There's not.

Jordan Wilson [00:32:41]:
I think it's actually the opposite problem. I think so many people are starting to use AI, and they don't know how, and they're doing it in a lazy way. So much of the new information that is being, posted online is a lot of AI data, and it's it's a lot of stuff that's probably actually from GPT 3.5. So you almost have this this regurgitation of older low quality data. So I I do think that that, model makers are gonna have to start using synthetic data, and they're gonna have to start including some reasoning capabilities by default. Right? I do think to see a sizable leap in GPT 5, in Orion, whatever it's gonna be called, you're gonna have to borrow or use at least some of that secret sauce of o one in the reasoning and the chain of thought, thinking underneath to really get superior outputs. Alright. That was a lot y'all.

Jordan Wilson [00:33:39]:
You could tell I haven't done this, you you know, I've only done this now twice in the past, 10 days, so it's been it's been great to take some, a a little bit of time off. But, yeah, my my my voice, I'm already losing it now after 33 minutes, and y'all know I I usually do this every single day for, like, 40 minutes. But let's do a quick recap of the AI news that matters. So first, open a came out that they have a lot of huge partnerships with the US federal government. It sees like NASA and the IRS subscribe is going to hire a 1000 human workers for, its new AI product, Agent Force. A court has dismissed a copyright lawsuit against OpenAI. Trump's return to the White House is causing a lot of uncertainty around AI development and what's gonna happen, with all of these companies when there's maybe new tariffs. There's maybe, you know, the executive order might be gone.

Jordan Wilson [00:34:45]:
So, yeah, we'll see what happens there. Microsoft is apparently kind of starting to phase out Copilot Pro at least in some countries. We'll see if that's rolled out worldwide. Google kind of accidentally leaked Jarvis AI, its upcoming web browsing assistance. Speaking of that, Microsoft launched Magenta 1, a new multi agent AI system for enterprises. And last but not least, according to the information, OpenAI is facing some challenges in its AI improvement rates going from model to model. Alright. I hope this was helpful y'all.
