Microsoft works to add non-OpenAI models into 365 Copilot products, sources say

Microsoft is working on incorporating internal and third-party AI models into its flagship AI product, Microsoft 365 Copilot, to reduce costs and lessen its reliance on OpenAI. The move aims to make 365 Copilot faster, more efficient, and cheaper for Microsoft to run.
