- Microsoft announced it will host Elon Musk’s xAI Grok 3 and Grok 3 mini AI models on its Azure cloud platform during the Build conference in Seattle on May 19, 2025.

- Microsoft’s Build event included Musk’s pre-recorded conversation with CEO Satya Nadella, who welcomed him despite protests over Microsoft’s AI support for the Israeli military in the Gaza conflict.
- Microsoft employs nearly 6,000 workers cut globally, about 3% of its workforce, and now offers over 1,900 AI models on Azure AI Foundry, with Grok models supporting enterprise data integration, customization, and governance.
- The deal signals Microsoft’s aim to expand AI offerings despite rivalry with Musk’s xAI and OpenAI, while acknowledging AI safety challenges and striving for quick error corrections.
