Currently Microsoft Copilot relies on OpenAI's GPT-* foundation models. A "Yes" resolution means that by December 31, 2025, Microsoft will still be relying primarily on OpenAI's foundation models for Copilot, rather than developing their own foundation models in-house or partnering with other AI companies for this purpose. A "No" resolution means they're primarily using their own in-house models (or something else).

It has diversified its investments and partnerships in generative AI, built its own smaller, cheaper models, and hired aggressively to develop its consumer AI efforts."
"A person familiar with the matter said that some future Microsoft AI products could be switched from OpenAI technology to the model being developed by Suleyman’s team." -- https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/microsoft-nadella-openai-inflection-9727e77a
@DanMan314 I would resolve that to YES (I would consider that an instance of "OpenAI foundation models").
what if microsoft purchases openai?
From https://www.theinformation.com/articles/meet-mai-1-microsoft-readies-new-ai-model-to-compete-with-google-openai: "For the first time since it invested more than $10 billion into OpenAI in exchange for the rights to reuse the startup’s AI models, Microsoft is training a new, in-house AI model large enough to compete with state-of-the-art models from Google, Anthropic and OpenAI itself."
