Investing.com -- Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is reportedly preparing its AI infrastructure to host Elon Musk’s Grok AI model, according to a Thursday report by the Verge. The tech giant has been in discussions with xAI in recent weeks about making the Grok AI model accessible to its customers and product teams via the Azure cloud service.

The potential move could stir up controversy internally and escalate tensions with Microsoft’s partner, OpenAI. If the deal goes through, Grok will be made available on Azure AI Foundry. This is Microsoft’s AI development platform that equips developers with AI services, tools, and pre-built models to construct AI applications and agents.

This arrangement would enable developers to integrate Grok into their apps. Additionally, Microsoft could potentially utilize the AI model across its own apps and services.
