The loser in the AI model competition appears to be... Microsoft.

When ChatGPT was the only game in town Microsoft was seen as a leader, thanks to their wise investment in Open AI. They relied on Open AI's model and didn't develop their own. As a result Microsoft has no interesting AI products. Copilot is a flop. Bing failed to take advantage of AI, Perplexity ate their lunch.

Satya Nadella last year: “Google should have been the default winner in the world of big tech’s AI race”.

Sundar Pichai's response: “I would love to do a side-by-side comparison of Microsoft’s own models and our models any day, any time. They are using someone else's model.”

Copilot is the only authorized AI at my company (50K FTE). I would be cautious to make any assumptions about how well anyone is doing in the AI space without some real numbers. My cynical opinion on enterprise software sales is that procurement decisions have absolutely nothing to do with product cost, performance, or value.
