Satya Calls OpenAI a ‘Little Tech Company’
Ironically, Microsoft’s entire Azure infrastructure, and all of its Copilot products and services are built around this “little tech company.”

Microsoft’s Satya Nadella is surely a tech coach of the AI world. While the OpenAI drama was unfolding with Microsoft shares on the slide, he somehow managed to catch up with the Cricket World Cup finals, and put a stop to all the chaos.
In a recent conversation with Kara Swisher, Nadella discusses the OpenAI soap opera, talking about India-Australia Men’s ODI Cricket World Cup finals, and if he would be interested in buying the Australian cricket team.
“That would be like buying OpenAI,” quipped Nadella, saying that none of these things can be accomplished. “But we can partner well with OpenAI and watch Aussies play cricket.” That explains why he hired five of the best players from OpenAI, instead of acquiring the company. Does that make Microsoft the new OpenAI?
