\n

Elon Musk, despite being embroiled in a lawsuit with Microsoft and OpenAI, made a virtual appearance at Microsoft’s Build developer conference in Seattle. Musk’s Grok AI chatbot will now be hosted on Microsoft Azure\u2019s cloud platform.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s fantastic to have you at our developer conference,\u201d Nadella said during a pre-recorded conversation with Musk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The partnership puts Musk\u2019s Grok AI on the same platform as rival models from OpenAI, Meta Platforms, and other global AI developers such as Mistral, DeepSeek<\/a>, and Black Forest Labs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Legal feud doesn\u2019t stall collaboration<\/h2>\n

Musk\u2019s appearance came as a surprise, given his ongoing legal battle with Microsoft<\/a> and OpenAI<\/a>. Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015 but later parted ways and has since been critical of the company\u2019s direction and its close ties with Microsoft. In 2023, he filed a lawsuit against OpenAI<\/a>, accusing it of abandoning its founding principles and turning into a profit-driven enterprise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Musk<\/a> now runs his own artificial intelligence firm, xAI, which launched Grok as a direct competitor to OpenAI’s ChatGPT<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Grok\u2019s recent controversy not mentioned<\/h2>\n

The announcement came just days after xAI was forced to fix Grok<\/a> following user complaints that the chatbot repeatedly brought up racially sensitive topics, including \u201cwhite genocide\u201d and South African politics<\/a>. The company later blamed the issue on an \u201cunauthorized modification\u201d by an employee. Musk, who was born in South Africa and has himself commented on such topics, did not address the incident during his exchange with Nadella<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Instead, Musk<\/a> emphasised the importance of transparency in AI development: \u201cWe have and will make mistakes, but we aspire<\/a> to correct them very quickly,\u201d Musk said, adding that honesty is \u201cthe best policy\u201d for AI safety.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

OpenAI\u2019s Sam Altman also takes the stage<\/h2>\n

Earlier at the same conference, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman<\/a> also appeared in a separate live video chat with Nadella. Microsoft remains OpenAI\u2019s biggest financial and infrastructure partner, integrating its tools across products like Bing and GitHub.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

GitHub launches AI coding agent amid layoffs<\/h2>\n

Meanwhile, Microsoft-owned GitHub<\/a> used the Build event to unveil a new AI \u201cagent\u201d to assist programmers. Unlike the existing Copilot assistant, the new tool is designed to autonomously handle more complex tasks within existing codebases.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s meant to \u201ctake care of boring tasks\u201d so developers can \u201cfocus on the interesting work,\u201d according to GitHub\u2019s announcement. The agent is optimised for \u201clow-to-medium complexity\u201d tasks in well-tested software environments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The upbeat announcements come just a week after Microsoft began laying off around 6,000 employees globally<\/a> \u2014 about 3% of its workforce.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
