Microsoft’s Private ChatGPT

There are numerous open-source LLM models out there, yet GPT-4 is still the most sought-after model. Despite being in high demand, not everyone uses it. The limitation of ChatGPT is that it’s closed-source and can’t be trusted with data and risks exposing confidential intellectual property. Data leaks in the past ascertain the “ChatGPT is untrustworthy” theory.

Microsoft, the backer of OpenAI, took notice of it and launched Azure ChatGPT, which provides similar user experience to ChatGPT but offered as the private ChatGPT. The tech giant markets itself as a platform that guarantees the privacy of data and is fully isolated from those operated by OpenAI.

This new development shows the interest of Microsoft in enterprises. They want to capture them as customers, which OpenAI failed to do because of security issues.
