Copilot

It is the only one with AI as co-pilot

by

Cross the Mediterranean aboard a luxury superyacht without the annoying constant roar of the diesel and without vibrations it was a luxury reserved for Jeff Bezos and other millionaires sailboat owners. However, that is the promise of Seawolf X, the world’s first yacht whose hybrid propulsion system is not only governed by a captain, but also has an AI as co-pilot. He Seawolf has been attracting the attention of the nautical sector for months, not only for its innovative hybrid propulsion technology that combines diesel and electric engines, but because it proposes something that very few had dared to try: that an AI takes control of the propulsion of a luxury superyacht so that it consumes just enough at all times. The world’s first yacht with AI on board. As and how he published Forbesthe Seawolf The second on board is an AI system called Rossinavi AI, which analyzes the state of the sea, wind speed, currents and the planned route in real time to calculate at every moment which combination of electric and diesel propulsion is most efficient. The manufacturer assures that this is not a simple automation, but that the system continually learns and adjusts the behavior of the engine to save maximum fuel in each scenario and do not generate emissions. SeaWolf Autonomous load management. The most striking part is that the AI ​​does not wait for the captain’s instructions to optimize the operation of the propulsion systems. Rossinavi AI has been designed to learn from the usage patterns on board and acts accordingly: adjusting power distribution, deciding when to charge or discharge the batteries and coordinating the various systems on the boat so that everything works without anyone having to intervene. The Seawolf X’s battery bank is recharged by the engines themselves and through solar panels integrated into the structure of the boat. The autonomy in hybrid mode reaches 3,000 nautical miles (about 5,500 km), which makes it a boat capable of facing long-distance ocean crossings. But the most striking fact is that the AI ​​intervention manages to reduce fuel consumption by up to 30% compared to a conventional yacht with equivalent performance. In calm waters and with favorable wind, Rossinavi AI prioritizes electric propulsion. When the sea gets rough, it automatically switches to diesel engines to provide more power. One of the SeaWolf X decks Luxury is also measured in silence. This is where one of the Seawolf X’s strongest arguments from a luxury point of view comes into play. The hybrid system allows sailing in fully electric mode in certain conditions, which eliminates the noise and vibrations characteristic of diesel engines. When at anchor, the batteries power the entire boat without starting any engines. The result is absolute silence, something that owners of yachts of this level of luxury highly valued and which, until now, was almost impossible to obtain for more than a few hours. Luxury within reach of few pockets. The interior of Seawolf X has been designed by studio Fulvio De Simoni and can accommodate up to 12 guests in five cabins, with a crew of up to nine. The spaces combine woods and high-end materials with a distribution that takes advantage of the spaciousness offered by the interior of catamaran hulls. The aft beach club provides direct access to the water for nautical activities, and the decks are designed for relaxing both in port and on the voyage. Enjoying all this luxury and silence does not come cheap. It is possible to sail on the Seawolf between 280,000 euros and 380,000 euros per week while you enjoy the landscapes of the Greek islands, the crystalline waters of the Croatian coast or the glamor of the Côte d’Azur and Italy.

Microsoft just turned an $11 billion startup into a Word feature. It’s more than a legal Copilot

by

Brad Smith is more than the vice chairman of the board and president of Microsoft: Smith is also a lawyer and as he himself tellsat the beginning of his career he asked his company for a computer because he firmly believed that computing could change the way lawyers work. In fact, his Wikipedia biography gives more detail: it was the requirement that the Washington, DC law firm Covington & Burling set to join. Said and done: in 1986 he was the first person in the firm to have one, which ran the legendary Word 1.0 processor. Seen in perspective it sounds like marketing, but a tremendous omen: Microsoft just announced Legal Agent for Wordan AI agent designed for legal work. What’s new from Microsoft is not a legal Copilot. Legal Agent is an agent designed to understand and operate within a legal document as a lawyer would: it analyzes risks, compares clauses against the organization’s internal rules, has tracking for the changes it generates, differentiates previous reviews of new proposals and detects potentially problematic provisions. Everything happens within the .docx itself, without leaving Word. What distinguishes it technically is its architecture. The agent does not ask the LLM to generate each edit directly, but instead combines that semantic understanding layer with a deterministic layer that applies the changes in a controlled way. This allows you to insert clauses, delete paragraphs, or add comments while preserving the original formatting of the document, including tables, lists, and change history. The result is a more reliable and predictable system than a chatbot, with fewer hallucinations and with the consistency that legal work demands. Brad Smith’s tweet includes a video that lasts almost a minute and a half where it can be seen in action: Tap to go to the post Why is it important. The key is not so much the technology, which already existed, but rather the distribution: Word is the program par excellence for drafting, reviewing and negotiating contracts around the world. Integrating there means being in the right place at the right time, without friction: it eliminates the need for another service, creating an account and logging in, the learning curve, the workflow between two different apps, data migrations and security. All in one, all easy. The definitive boost is the price. While subscribing to specialty products like Harvey they hover the 1,000 – 1,200 dollars per lawyer per base month, according to market estimates collected by Sacrathe Legal Agent arrives integrated into theCopilot Enterprise subscription of 30 dollars a month that surely many spiteful people already pay per se. The difference in magnitude and the product placement anticipate a voracious entry into this market niche. Context. A troubled river, fishermen’s profit: Microsoft did not start from scratch for this project. At the beginning of the year contract to more than 18 engineers from Robin AI, the legal AI startup that collapsed after failing to close its $50 million round. Probably if Robin AI had not fallen, Microsoft would not have been able to create such a product so quickly. We were talking about other specialized products but the name on the horizon was one: Harveythe sector’s benchmark. Founded by Winston Weinberg and former Google DeepMind Gabe Pereyraoperates with more than 100,000 law professionals in more than 1,300 organizations and is valued at 11 billion dollars. Your latest financing round It was 200 millionclosed in March 2026 and co-led by GIC and Sequoia. It is true that its proposal goes beyond the review of contracts: it has more than 25,000 personalized agents operating on its platform with deep integrations into the document management systems used by large law firms, such as iManage and NetDocuments. Bottom line: It’s not a $30 a month feature. Yes, but. In any case, for now the product is still in early access, only in Word for Windows, with configuration restrictions and some complaints from those who have already tried it. Furthermore, it remains to be seen whether lawyers will trust into a mainstream tool for highly complex cases where a minimal error can be costly. The battle of price and distribution is won, confidence and technical depth is another story. Saying that Microsoft is going to kill Harvey it’s an exaggeration: The Legal Agent is more focused on volume work, that more mundane work of routine reviews, standard contracts, NDAs… that takes legal professionals hours every day. Harvey is strong in more complex and/or high-risk tasks: a multinational with a serious litigation advised by an elite law firm is hardly going to entrust the matter to an agent included in an Office subscription. What the Robin AI story does make clear is that having a good product and customers does not guarantee survival: the group of organizations willing to pay is smaller than the investment rounds anticipated.

GitHub Copilot and Claude are putting more and more fees and costs

by

As end users, pay a monthly fee to use a AI model It is the norm to access more complete and powerful models. However, developers who rely on an AI model to power their tool or application pay based on the tokens of input and output that are consumed (the minimum unit of text that a model processes when we use it, so that we understand each other). Which has announced GitHub Copilot has more to it than it seems, as it will now begin charging end users through a monthly plan based on the number of tokens. And this has set off alarm bells in the sector, because it could be a move that any other company could easily end up imitating. And all in a context in which Chinese startups prices continue to drop sharply in their models. Copilot can no longer maintain its business model. GitHub has announced that starting June 1 it will stop accepting requests for its current premium plans and will begin billing for AI credits instead. Each monthly plan will include a number of credits equivalent to the price of the subscription: anyone who pays $10 per month for Copilot Pro will receive $10 in credits. From there, consumption is measured in tokens, including input, output, and cache tokens. It is a play similar to when we use a image generation model either video: a use that depends on credits and that we recharge depending on the use. The reason for the change, according to the companyis that until now a quick consultation and an autonomous programming session of several hours cost the user the same. GitHub claims to have long absorbed that cost difference, but acknowledges that the model is no longer viable. QWhat exactly changes. The base prices of the plans are not touched: Copilot Pro is still at $10. Business in 19. Enterprise in 39. But: what you buy with them is no longer the same. Previously, the limit was a number of requests. Now, each interaction with the model consumes credits at a rate that depends on the chosen model and the volume of tokens. According to the rates published by the company itself, the most advanced OpenAI models can cost up to $30 per million output tokens. On the other hand, an agentic session, where the assistant executes tasks autonomously, can easily multiply the expense of a week of normal consultations. Ed Zitron, well-known critic and technology expert, counted that, according to internal documents to which he had access, Copilot’s weekly costs had almost doubled since January, coinciding with the boom in agentic assistants. Nor is it just Copilot. According to account The Information, Anthropic has begun charging its large enterprise customers the actual cost of computing Claudeabandoning any discount. Anthropic itself briefly tested the elimination of Claude Code of its $20 per month Pro plan. Large AI companies have been taking losses on their subscription models to attract users for some time, and are now trying to pass on the real costs to those who consume the most. China does the opposite. While the West adjusts prices upwards, several of the main Chinese technology companies have adopted a completely different strategy: turning tokens into a cheap commodity, almost like a telecom distributing mobile data. DeepSeek announced this week a 90% reduction in the price of cached accesses to its API (when the model reuses already processed context), bringing the minimum entry cost to about $0.14 per million tokens. For your most advanced model, DeepSeek-V4-Prothe figure becomes 32 times cheaper per conversation than the equivalent in GPT-5.5 from OpenAI, according to company data. Alibaba, for its part, has just separated its AI business and renamed it Token Hub Business Group, making clear what its strategic commitment is. According to share According to Reuters, Chinese models cost on average one-sixth the price per token of those from OpenAI, Anthropic, and the like. Why it can work, and why it has a limit. China’s advantage in inference (the moment at which a model responds to a request) rests on cheaper electricity, software efficiency that it has had no choice but to forcefully develop by chip restrictions from Washington, and a super competitive domestic race that forces prices to constantly drop. Token consumption in China has gone from 100 billion a day at the end of 2025 to 140 billion in March 2026, according to estimates collected by Reuters. However, as the media points out, this strategy has an underlying problem: the tokens are not interchangeable. One million tokens from Anthropic’s most advanced system are worth much more than the same volume processed by an inferior model. Companies that delegate complex tasks to AI agents will end up paying for quality, not just volume. And there, the Chinese models continue to lag behind the most advanced Western ones.

Microsoft wants Copilot to do more complex tasks. To achieve this, it has turned to Anthropic AI

by

For a long time, when we talked about artificial intelligence at Microsoft, there was one name that came up again and again: OpenAI. The relationship between both companies was decisive for the takeoff of ChatGPT and also for the launch of Copilot. But the AI ​​board is moving quickly. New models, new players and increasingly intense competition are pushing large technology companies to diversify their bets. In that context, Microsoft’s latest move is understood. The advertisement. Microsoft has decided to integrate Anthropic technology within Copilot, the assistant that is already part of tools such as Outlook, Teams or Excel within Microsoft 365. Among the new features is coworka tool based on Anthropic technology aimed at facilitating tasks within the work environment. But that’s not all: Claude’s models will also be available within the Copilot chatbot alongside the more advanced OpenAI models, thus expanding the capabilities of the assistant without depending on a single artificial intelligence provider. From asking for something to delegating work. Microsoft explains that Cowork is designed to go a step beyond the classic model of an assistant who answers questions or writes texts. The idea is that Copilot can take care of entire tasks within Microsoft 365. When the user makes a request, the system converts it into a work plan that runs in the background. To do this, it uses data from Outlook, Teams or Excel. From there, in theory, you propose actions, ask for clarification if needed, and allow the user to review or approve each step before the changes are applied. Some examples. Let’s imagine, for example, that we ask Copilot to review our agenda in Outlook. The system could analyze the calendar, detect conflicts between meetings and identify lower priority meetings. From there I would propose different adjustments, such as rescheduling some appointments or reserving blocks of time to focus on more important tasks. Once those suggestions are reviewed and approved, the system itself could apply the changes automatically, accepting, rejecting or rescheduling meetings and reserving blocks of time to focus on other tasks. The strategy. As we noted above, the move also reflects how Microsoft’s AI strategy is changing. The company has maintained a very close relationship with OpenAI for years and continues to be one of its largest shareholders, with a stake close to 27% after investments of around $13 billion since 2019. However, the rise of new models and the rapid evolution of the sector are pushing large technology companies to not depend on a single technology. Incorporating Anthropic tools within Copilot points precisely in that direction: building an ecosystem capable of relying on different models depending on the task. Platforms before models. What we are seeing with decisions like this is that the race for AI is not limited to developing increasingly advanced models. It’s also about deciding where those capabilities are going to live. In the case of Microsoft, the answer seems quite broad: The company has been integrating Copilot into more and more products and services in its ecosystem (and also external ones). For some users, this constant presence can be very useful; For others it can be somewhat invasive. But beyond these perceptions, the movement clearly shows Microsoft’s strategy. On the whole. So this is not just about adding another technology within Copilot, but rather reinforcing the idea that Microsoft wants to turn this assistant into a meeting point for different AI capabilities within its software. Incorporating Anthropic models alongside those of OpenAI points precisely to that scenario. Rather than relying on a single technology, the company appears to be laying the groundwork for a Copilot capable of combining different solutions as the AI ​​market continues to evolve.

Microsoft continues to confuse the world with its obsession with Copilot. Almost no one is very clear if Office is alive or not

by

“But then, does Office exist or not?” It is a question that seems trivial, but it is not so, and with good reason: the constant name and brand changes have meant that the Microsoft office suite is being the latest victim of his obsession with AI and with its avalanche of products with the Copilot surname. The usual Office is no longer what it was. The evolution of Office was relatively stable until 2020. The office suite, officially launched in 1990, made it possible to bring together all the office applications that Microsoft already had and that it would later expand. This is how we soon saw an Office that consisted of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook and even Access and other tools. Changes and more changes. Since then the suite has been undergoing paradigm shifts… and name changes: 2010: The Office 365 brand is introduced as a cloud version of the traditional office suite. The goal: compete with Google Docs 2013: After the launch of Office 2013, Microsoft begins to promote the Office 365 service as the main alternative to access office tools 2017: Microsoft presents a second evolution of these services, which this time were aimed at companies and which it named Microsoft 365. This platform combined Office 365 with volume licenses for Windows 10 Enterprise, as well as some additional solutions. 2020: Office 365 change your name to Microsoft 365 2022: Microsoft announces that the branding “Microsoft Office” would be abandoned in favor of the “Microsoft 365” brand. Even so, Microsoft continues to sell perpetual Microsoft Office licenses for local installations. The latest version Today it is Microsoft Office 2024. 2025:Microsoft rename the Microsoft 365 app to Microsoft 365 Copilot, referring to the “Office/Microsoft 365 Hub.” This application is actually like an aggregator of the different Microsoft office tools (Word, Excel, etc.). And Perplexity adds fuel to the fire. A few days ago those responsible for Perplexity published a tweet in which they seemed to indicate that Microsoft had changed the name from “Office” to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app.” In reality, what had been renamed, as they point out in Windows Latestis the “Office/Microsoft 365 Hub”, but this name change had already been announced a year ago, in January 2025, as we indicated. Perplexity also added that this decision had caused “400 million users to become “AI users” overnight.” Both the tweet and that statement were somewhat exaggerated, and did not help clarify a situation that is already confusing. Microsoft clarifies it. Microsoft officials have indicated in The Verge and other means that: “We have not made any recent changes to the names of our Office applications. Word, Excel and PowerPoint, the Office applications included in the Microsoft 365 productivity suite, remain unchanged In November 2022, we just renamed the Office hub app for web and mobile to the Microsoft 365 app. In January 2025, we updated it to the Microsoft 365 Copilot app to reflect its role in bringing the Copilot and Microsoft 365 productivity experiences together in one place.” More trouble with the Office.com website. Although Microsoft hasn’t just “killed” the Office brand, it doesn’t seem to want it to be used much either. In fact, if one goes to the office.com website What you see as soon as you load it is a message that says “We welcome you to the Microsoft 365 Copilot application”, or in other words, that “hub” or aggregator from which you can launch the different office tools in the Microsoft suite. It doesn’t seem like a lucky decision. like others in this line in recent times. How to destroy a recognizable and recognized brand. The truth is that Office was a brand recognized by users, but for years Microsoft has wanted to transform it into part of something bigger. The intention, we believe, was to try to make it clear that Microsoft 365 was more than traditional office tools, but the only thing that has been achieved With these changes it is adding more and more confusion. Office is still alive as a product and as a brand, but it has ended up being absorbed by these new brands and, of course, because of Microsoft’s obsession with AI and with Copilot.

The latest condemnation of LG TVs is that they install Microsoft Copilot by default and cannot be uninstalled

by

LG Smart TV users have noticed something in recent days. Some of them have seen a new “tile” appear on their televisions in the main interface. And it corresponded to an application that they had not installed or requested: Microsoft Copilot. The criticism has been enormous, and rightly so. Why is it important. The appearance of this new application is the latest example of the loss of control that users end up having over the devices they buy. You pay for it, but you don’t actually own it. It is a condemnation that we are seeing everywhere in digital products and services, and what LG and Microsoft have done is the latest example of this. What does Copilot do on my TV?. There are several Reddit users who have denounced how the latest software update for its LG televisions includes a new tile that is displayed on the main screen of the webOS interface and that corresponds to Microsoft Copilot. And you won’t be able to uninstall it. The worst thing is not even that LG and Microsoft have agreed to offer this app for good. The worst thing is that users can’t even uninstall it. The only thing you can do is hide the icon so that it is not visible in the main interface, but Copilot will still be available and installed even if you never use it. Microsoft, enough is enough. The movement is one more drop in a glass that has long exceeded the patience of users. Microsoft has not stopped flooding all its products with co-pilots even though It seems clear that almost no one uses their AI. What they are getting is not brand recognition, but an almost frontal rejection of Copilot. Not because it is necessarily better or worse, but it is everywhere, even if we have not asked for it. This isn’t a “do you want to try it?” It is an imposition. LG already (half) warned. At CES 2025 the company confirmed its plans to integrate Microsoft Copilot into webOS as part of its “AI TV” strategy. In their presentation they highlighted that Copilot was an extension of that AI experience on TV that was designed to answer questions and offer content recommendations. The current integration looks more like a shortcut to Copilot’s web interface, not a native app built into the TV. In reality, at that CES we already saw the same intentions announced by Samsung or Google… that he kept his word few months ago. TYour TV spies on you (again). Other Reddit users talked about a setting for LG Smart TVs called “Live Plus.” If one activates this tool, the content shown on TV can be recognized and that information can be used to offer personalized services such as recommendations and — of course — advertisements. In LG’s documentation they describe Live Plus as an “enhanced viewing experience.” Fortunately, this option can be disabled from Settings -> All settings -> General -> Additional options. From there just deactivate the Live Plus service. One more time, TVs try to know everything we do with the excuse of improving the experience. TV, you are left without internet. Faced with this avalanche of invasive options, the solution is clear: disconnect the Smart TV from the Wi-Fi network and/or the cable network (Ethernet) and do not use that main interface except in specific cases of image or sound adjustment, for example. The Google TV Streamer/Fire TV are the option (more or less). For everything else, the recommendation is clear: buy a streaming device like a Fire TV or a Google TV Streamer (or similar)… although the latter have also become advertising showcases. There are alternatives in those cases: we can use alternative launchers like Projectivy on those devices to avoid that advertising and regain control over what we see and how we see it. And we can also opt for other “TV Boxes” which also give the option to regain that control. In Xataka | Google has killed the Chromecast. Goodbye to a friendly and affordable product that helped us enjoy television more than ever

Microsoft has reduced its ambition with AI. It has been realized that almost no one uses Copilot, they say in The Information

by

There is Satya Nadella, in his office, like an influencer. Since the Excel World Championship has been held, he wants to see how good he is at handling it… with the help of Copilot. The video is nice and seems to show that Microsoft’s promise that AI will be able to do many things for you is fulfilled. However, reality says otherwise, and the company itself seems to recognize it, because its sales objectives have been cut, according to The Information. Optimism has cooled. According to internal sources in the Azure division cited in said newspaper, the company has made an unusual decision: lowering sales growth quotas for its AI products and services. The objectives were not achieved in the fiscal year that ended in June, and that has now caused the sales teams’ goals to be adjusted downward, reaching close to 25% growth. That Microsoft makes such a change is a clear indicator that the market is not responding at the speed expected. Microsoft denies it. The Information’s claims have been denied by Microsoft. Those responsible indicated on Bloomberg that that article “inaccurately conflates the concepts of growth and sales quotas” and that “aggregate sales quotas for AI products have not been reduced.” Which chatbot is used the most? (in USA). Meanwhile, the consulting firm FirstPageSage has published the market shares of the main chatbots on the market in the US. According to this data, ChatGPT clearly dominates that market with 61.30% of queries, while Microsoft is second with 14.10%. However, it is interesting to look at the details of the estimated growth: at Microsoft it is only 2%, while at Gemini it grows 12% and Claude 14%. AI chatbot usage rate in December 2025 in the US. Source: FirstPageSage AI doesn’t quite work. Corporate clients are finding it difficult to justify the return on investment from AI. It is difficult to measure the real savings that AI represents for writing reports or analyzing sales leads, for example. But there are sectors such as finance or cybersecurity in which the tolerance for error is zero. We still cannot trust AI, and that means that its real scope, especially in companies, is limited. An MIT report already warned that 95% of companies that have opted for the use of AI they have seen no measurable return in real income. An example. In the topic of The Information we talk about the Carlyle private equity fund. They started using Copilot Studio to automate meeting summaries and financial models, but hit a technical roadblock: the AI ​​was having trouble pulling reliable data from other external applications. Given the situation, Carlyle reduced its spending on AI and is now much more selective with the AI ​​solutions it pays for, although its overall investment in technology is growing. Bad on one hand, good on the other. It must be made clear that the AI ​​business is not in crisis, but it is very polarized. Azure is still going strong and GirHub works really well, for example. The problem is convincing traditional companies to pay extra for automated AI agents. Especially when using them is much more complex than installing a simple chatbot and starting to use it. Even OpenAI adjusts expectations. OpenAI itself, they also indicated in The Information, has had to review its expectations with the agent market. Their new estimates have reduced AI agent revenue by $26 billion over the next five years. To compensate for this drop, OpenAI will focus its income on ChatGPT subscriptions. Patience is running outeither. The industry is certainly not throwing in the towel, but it is beginning to lose patience. Brian Spanswick, CEO of the cybersecurity firm Cohesity, summed up the current situation: there is hope, but evidence is lacking. His company is creating its own code that allows it to connect Microsoft agents with its internal data, and they hope that this will demonstrate a real return on investment in a few months. Whether they succeed is another story, but one thing seems increasingly clear: the promises of AI remain unfulfilled. At least, those that Microsoft did with Copilot in companies.

Microsoft had a saved secret. His new AI model for Copilot is the clearest statement against Openai’s domain

by

Since the fever broke out by generative AI, Microsoft has opted for OpenAi models to give life to key functions in some of its most important products. It is not strange if we remember that those of Redmond They invested more than 10,000 million dollars in the startup directed by Sam Altman. However, this alliance of convenience It has been showing fissures for months And, as time goes by, The rivalry between both parties becomes more evident. It was Microsoft itself that, a year ago, included OpenAI in his list of competitorstogether with Amazon, Apple, Google and Meta. And it is OpenAi who, According to The Informationinsists on not wanting to share its avant -garde technology when it arrives, if it arrives, the AGI. Even if you try to make up, the link is no longer as solid as in its first days. And now there is another chapter underway. Microsoft AI begins to show their own letters Mustafa SuleymanCEO of Microsoft AI, who assumed the position when the association with Openai had been consolidated for years, It has just presented two internally developed models. They are advanced proposals that users can already prove and reflect the company’s ambition: “Create AI applied as a platform for products.” One is a real novelty and another we already knew. Let’s look at the details. Mai-1-Preview. It is the great novelty. It is a Mixure-OF-Experts model, in the style of GPT-4O or GPT-5, designed to offer great capabilities in resolution of instructions and useful responses for daily consultations. According to Suleyman, it is the first model trained from beginning to end in Microsoft AI’s own laboratories. The most striking thing is that it can already be tested. Just enter LMARENAselect Direct Chat and choose Mai-1-Preview. In the coming weeks it will also arrive in Copilot, although only “for certain cases of text use.” It is paradoxical: the text functions of the Microsoft Chatbot work thanks to OpenAi, but now it will begin to live with its own technology. Developers can also request anticipated access to API. MAI-VOICE-1. It is a voice generation model that stands out for its expressiveness and naturalness. For some time now it promotes functions such as Copilot Daily (news summaries) and Copilot Podcasts, although only in English. It is also available in COPILOT LABSwhere you can try different voices, styles and narration tones. One of its strengths is efficiency: it can generate a complete minute of audio in less than a second using a single GPU. With this, it is one of the fastest and most effective voice systems that exist today. Microsoft defends that the voice will be the interface of future assistants of AI. And he wants to advance with a high fidelity solution capable of responding in different scenarios. Could I have resorted to Openai and your GPT-4o in audio version? Yes. Do you want to do it? Everything indicates not. “Much more to come. We have great ambitions for what comes next: advances in the models, an exciting roadmap in computation capacity and the opportunity to reach billions of people through Microsoft products. We are building an AI for all,” said Suleyman in X. It remains to see what course the relationship between Microsoft and OpenAi will take. What is clear to users is that there will be more variety and more tools to experiment.

Chatgpt’s mobile app generates 30 times more money than Claude, Copilot and Grok together. Still not enough

by

If there is a chatbot that stands out in popularity over the rest, that is undoubtedly chatgpt. His mobile app was launched in May 2023 And since then he has occupied the download tops of the main stores, becoming The most downloaded app in the world A few months ago. Openai has reached another milestone with its app: since its launch already has generated 2,000 million dollars. To put it in context, this would be approximately 30 times more than what Claude, Grok and Copilot combined have generated. However, not everything is as beautiful as it sounds. Undisputed leader. According to figures AppfiguresOnly for 2025, the Chatgpt app has generated 1,350 million dollars, which represents a growth of 673% compared to the same period of 2024. Chatgpt is generating 193 million dollars per month, while the next on the list is Grok with 3.6 million per month. If we look at the average download per expense, ChatgPT goes to the head with 2.91 dollars, followed by Claude with $ 2.55, Grok with $ 0.75 and finally co -pilot with only $ 0.28. It is clear: Openai is winning the battle of mobile apps. Still not enough. 2,000 million are many millions and that only with its mobile app. Adding all your services, only In July 1,000 million entered And it is estimated that they will enter 12,000 million this year. However, It is still light years of being profitable And the reality is that they enter much less than they spend. The company did An internal study in which they estimated that the losses between 2023 and 2028 would amount to 44,000 million dollars. According to their forecasts, they will not be profitable until 2029, when they expect to enter 100,000 million dollars annually, almost ten times more than they invoice now. The Big Tech are on the right track.
