Microsoft will release its self-developed programming model next week to counter Cursor and Claude's encroachment on Copilot.

CryptoWorld News reports that Microsoft plans to release multiple self-developed AI models next week at the annual Build developer conference in San Francisco to counter competitors Cursor and Claude, which are eroding the market for GitHub Copilot. Microsoft’s AI chief executive officer Mustafa Suleyman’s R&D team has not yet seen any of its models top the industry’s mainstream leaderboards in the past two years, and this release will be the team’s first major test of its in-house development capabilities. Microsoft has long relied on OpenAI’s free licensing through 2032, as well as paid procurement of Anthropic models, to power GitHub Copilot and 365 Copilot. The high cost of external procurement has forced Microsoft to raise the price of some GitHub Copilot packages and to impose usage limits on Anthropic models. By distributing lower-cost self-developed models through the Azure cloud platform, Microsoft can provide developers with an affordable alternative to Claude, reducing the day-to-day operating costs of AI features in Office productivity software. These self-developed large models will be a key bargaining chip for Microsoft to break away from expensive suppliers and maintain core independence.

Self-developed large model + cloud distribution, a closed-loop ecosystem is the ultimate ambition

Before the OpenAI license expires in 2032, you must have your own stuff; otherwise, you'll really become a worker.

Copilot price increase + quota limits, users have been unhappy for a long time. Can an in-house model save the situation?

Mustafa Suleyman hasn't submitted a paper in two years; this Build conference is a life-and-death battle.

The AI costs for the Office “all-in-one” bundle really should come down—it feels a bit wasteful to use it right now.

Azure distributes low-cost models; this move is clever, as B2B clients are most sensitive to price.

Microsoft finally couldn't sit still anymore; Cursor is aggressively stealing users.
