Quick Summary:

OpenAI's largest investor now sells access to the "R1" model accused of breaking OpenAI's terms.

Azure allows software developers to rent computing muscle from machines hosted in Microsoft-owned data centers, as well as rent access to software that runs on them.

DeepSeek R1 has been the talk of the AI world for the past week because it is a freely available simulated reasoning model that reportedly matches OpenAI's o1 in performance—while allegedly being trained for a fraction of the cost.
