The battle for AI talent in Europe is intensifying as a growing number of AI startups attract investors and set up offices in the region. Google DeepMind, once a dominant player, is now facing competition from well-funded rivals and losing some of its own employees. To retain talent, DeepMind has reportedly offered restricted stock to senior researchers. Other AI companies in the region, such as Cohere and Anthropic, are also aggressively hiring talent, resulting in a significant increase in pay for executives. Startups are attracting talent from larger tech companies by offering more influence and a stake in the company's success.

Microsoft is reportedly developing a large in-house AI language model known as MAI-1, which aims to compete with Google and OpenAI. Led by Mustafa Suleyman, the co-founder of Google DeepMind and former CEO of AI startup Inflection, the purpose of this model is yet to be determined. It is expected to be significantly larger than Microsoft's previous open source models, making it more expensive to train. Microsoft may provide a preview of MAI-1 at its Build developer conference later this month. The company has already invested in OpenAI and released smaller AI models to attract a wider user base.
