OpenAI 称 GPT 5.6 是 Microsoft Copilot 的“首选模型”
OpenAI says GPT 5.6 is the ‘preferred model’ for Microsoft Copilot amid breakup chatter
针对微软正用自研 MAI 模型替代 OpenAI 软件以削减成本的报道，OpenAI 在周四发布 GPT 5.6 时宣布，该模型将成为 Microsoft 365 Copilot 的“首选模型”，为 Word、Excel、PowerPoint 及 Cowork 等应用提供支持。OpenAI 强调合作旨在将先进 AI 带给更多用户，但“首选模型”的具体含义尚不明确，且该声明并未否认微软为降低成本而日益依赖自研模型的报道。
Earlier this week, Bloomberg reported that Microsoft was replacing some of OpenAI’s software with its own in-house models to cut costs. Those in-house models, known as MAI, were being used to power apps like Word and Excel, the outlet noted.
The story raised an increasingly common question about the two companies, which were once seemingly inseparable and have recently sent mixed signals about their situationship: Were the two companies drifting apart?
Now, OpenAI is attempting to put any insinuations of such a break to rest. During OpenAI’s launch of GPT 5.6 on Thursday, the company announced that it would become the “preferred model” powering Microsoft’s 365 Copilot.
OpenAI noted in a related blog post that GPT 5.6 would support Microsoft users across the company’s suite of productivity apps, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Cowork.
“Our partnership with Microsoft has always been about bringing the benefits of advanced AI to more individuals and organizations, and we’re excited to continue building on that shared commitment,” OpenAI wrote.
What being a “preferred model” actually means isn’t entirely clear, other than that OpenAI’s software will continue to power Microsoft’s apps.
That said, it was never reported that ChatGPT’s software would stop powering Microsoft’s apps — merely that Microsoft was relying increasingly on its own software in an effort to reduce costs. The new “preferred model” disclosure doesn’t appear to negate that previous reporting.
