Microsoft is reportedly instructing its sales teams to pivot customers away from expensive partners like OpenAI and Anthropic in favor of their own house-branded models. The strategy focuses on positioning Microsoft's 'Phi' small language models as faster and more budget-friendly alternatives for enterprise needs. It signals a major shift from 'strategic partnership' to direct competition for market dominance.
