en.Wedoany.com Reported - Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI, publicly criticized competitor Anthropic's AI services this week as "extremely expensive," stating, "I think many people are desperately looking for alternatives." This comes as GitHub Copilot introduces usage-based pricing for developers using its services.

In an interview with Bloomberg News, Suleyman noted that the cost of AI services is becoming a focal point in the industry. Currently, companies are widely adopting this technology across various business operations, but many are finding it difficult to report meaningful returns on investment.

In response to this situation, Microsoft unveiled seven new AI models at its annual Build conference this week, emphasizing lower costs to drive enterprise adoption. The company believes that cheaper AI models can help more businesses validate the feasibility of AI projects. A 2025 report from Gartner indicated that many such projects may be canceled by 2027, and lower implementation costs could be a solution.

Microsoft clearly believes its AI developer tools offer better value for money than Anthropic's products. According to reports, Microsoft plans to cancel most Claude Code licenses by the end of the half-year period in late June, steering engineers toward its own Copilot tools.
