OpenAI released GPT-5.6, deeply tied to Microsoft Copilot365, breaking the "parting of ways" rumor. On July 9, OpenAI officially released a new large model series GPT-5.6, and announced that this model will be the "preferred model" of Microsoft Microsoft365Copilot, fully supporting a full range of productivity applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Cowork. This move not only realizes the functional upgrade of the product lines of both parties, but also provides a strong positive response to recent rumors about the breakdown of the relationship between the two technology giants. Earlier this week, there were rumors in the market that Microsoft was trying to reduce operating costs by gradually introducing a self-developed "MAI" large model into its office software to replace part of the OpenAI software. This development triggered widespread speculation in the industry about whether the two giants Microsoft and OpenAI are "drifting apart." With the launch of GPT-5.6 and its establishment as Copilot's "preferred model", OpenAI emphasized in the official blog that the cooperation between the two parties began with a common commitment to bring the benefits of advanced AI to more people, and is continuing to deepen this strategic synergy. Although the specific cooperation boundaries and details of the "preferred model" have not been fully disclosed, and industry reports that Microsoft has introduced self-developed models to reduce costs have not been directly denied, this high-profile statement undoubtedly stabilized the alliance between the two parties at a critical node. In the current context of increasingly fierce competition in large models, xAI has released Grok 4.5, which Musk calls "Opus-level", and Meta has also joined the AI coding battlefield with Muse Spark 1.1. The game among the top echelons in the industry has entered a fierce stage. The in-depth integration of OpenAI and Microsoft in technology releases and application scenarios shows that ecological binding and scenario implementation are still the core strategies of giants to build competitive barriers. The direction of the relationship between the two parties will also continue to affect the evolution of the global generative AI industry. via AI News (author: AI Base)
