Microsoft observed a widespread campaign using generative-AI lures and end-to-end automation to compromise organizational accounts and conduct rapid reconnaissance, persistence, and email exfiltration.
OpenAI released GPT-5.2 Instant, Thinking, and Pro across ChatGPT and APIs with stronger professional work, coding, long context, tool use, and multi-step agent performance.
Microsoft reported that Bing was using Turing-NLG 17B for real-time next-phrase prediction in autosuggest and for pre-generating People Also Ask questions, exposing the model to a service handling hundreds of millions of searches each day.
Microsoft announced an exclusive license to OpenAI's 175-billion-parameter GPT-3 language model, while OpenAI continued offering its public API. The agreement concentrated privileged commercialization rights and deepened the companies' frontier-model partnership.
Microsoft introduced Video Authenticator, which estimates whether still images or video frames were artificially manipulated, and made it available through the AI Foundation's Reality Defender 2020 program to campaigns, newsrooms, and others in the democratic process.
Microsoft said it would not sell facial-recognition technology to United States police departments until a national law grounded in human rights governed the technology.
Microsoft announced a completed Azure supercomputer built with and exclusively for OpenAI, containing more than 285,000 CPU cores, 10,000 GPUs, and 400-gigabit-per-second connectivity per GPU server. Microsoft described it as one of the five largest publicly disclosed systems and a platform for training very large general-purpose AI models.
Microsoft introduced Turing-NLG, then the largest published language model at 17 billion parameters, through a restricted academic demo. DeepSpeed and ZeRO reduced its GPU requirement fourfold and training time threefold, and later primary evidence documented the same systems scaling a successor to 530 billion parameters.
