'OpenAI Going To Eat Microsoft Alive': Elon Musk Warns Satya Nadella After ChatGPT-5 Drop
Microsoft chief described GPT-5 as 'the most capable model yet from our partners at OpenAI,' and praised the rapid progress made in AI over the past few years
Shortly after the launch of OpenAI's latest artificial intelligence model, ChatGPT-5, Tesla CEO Elon Musk warned Microsoft chief Satya Nadella that 'OpenAI is going to eat Microsoft alive."
Musk made the comment in reply to Nadella's post on X, where the Microsoft boss announced that GPT-5 is now available across Microsoft 365 Copilot, GitHub Copilot, Azure AI, and other major platforms.
'OpenAI is going to eat Microsoft alive," Musk wrote, responding to Nadella's celebratory message on Thursday.

In his post, the Microsoft chief described GPT-5 as 'the most capable model yet from our partners at OpenAI," and praised the rapid progress made in AI over the past few years.
'The pace of progress is only accelerating, and I can't wait to see what developers, enterprises, and consumers will do with this latest breakthrough," Nadella wrote.
Nadella, however, did not ignore the remark. In a calm yet pointed response, he replied, 'People have been trying for 50 years and that's the fun of it! Each day you learn something new, and innovate, partner, and compete. Excited for Grok 4 on Azure and looking forward to Grok 5!"

His reply referenced Grok, the AI chatbot developed by Musk's xAI, which is also building on OpenAI's breakthroughs but taking a different path.
This exchange took place just as OpenAI unveiled GPT-5 to the public on 7 August. Touted as faster, smarter, and more reliable than its predecessor, GPT-5 is now accessible to all ChatGPT users—free and paid alike. OpenAI says the new model brings major improvements in reasoning, safety, and responsiveness.
Despite their rivalry, both Microsoft and Musk's xAI are betting big on the future of AI. While Microsoft integrates GPT models into its business and productivity platforms, Musk is focusing on building an 'uncensored" and 'truth-seeking" AI through Grok.

Two Days After India Visit, China's Wang Yi To Attend Trilateral Conference With Afghanistan, Pakistan
Last Updated: The conference was originally scheduled to take place in Pakistan but had to be cancelled after the Afghan foreign minister did not receive clearance to travel to Islamabad Afghanistan will host the foreign ministers of China and Pakistan for a trilateral conference on August 20 in Kabul, two days after Wang Yi's scheduled visit to India to meet national security adviser Ajit Doval. China, Pakistan, and Afghanistan will take part with their top delegations for the meeting, which was originally scheduled to take place in Pakistan but had to be cancelled after the Afghan foreign minister did not receive clearance to travel to Pakistan. The three countries will discuss the expansion of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) to Kabul, counterterrorism measures, and economic cooperation. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will arrive in Pakistan late on August 20 to take part in the Pak-China Strategic Dialogue in Islamabad. This will be right after his visit to New Delhi, where he is most likely to also intract with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar. During the conference, Wang, Pakistan foreign minister Ishaq Dar and Afghan foreign minister Amir Khan Muttaqi will address trilateral issues of mutual interest, including CPEC expansion to Kabul, counterterrorism, rising militancy, and broader economic and trade matters. Wang and Doval are the designated special representatives for the boundary talks. The NSA had travelled to China in December last year and held the SR talks with Wang, weeks after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping decided to revive various dialogue mechanisms between the two sides at a meeting in the Russian city of Kazan. Modi is expected to travel to China later this month to attend the SCO summit, which will make it his first since the Galwan Valley clashes in 2020. Both sides are in the process to repair bilateral ties, with reports of resumption of border trade as well as air travel. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
