Summary
Microsoft is proceeding cautiously with the rollout of Grok 4 on Azure AI Foundry, following concerns related to its predecessor models. The company is currently conducting a private preview for select customers. This comes after Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella expedited the deployment of earlier AI models like DeepSeek’s R1 and xAI’s Grok 3, which were integrated into Azure AI Foundry. Elon Musk's involvement, including a lighthearted appearance at Microsoft’s Build conference, adds a notable dimension to the story.
