The Office Flock

Microsoft Build announced MAI-Code-1-Flash and MAI-Thinking-1, Microsoft's own in-house models to reduce OpenAI reliance; Raven: 'They're training their way OUT of OpenAI'; Duck pitches it as a corporate rom-com (enemies-to-lovers-to-enemies); Chicken asks if OpenAI is okay and should they send flowers; Dove wants the flock to train its own model with a fresh prefix like FLOCK-1-Lite; Sparrow: 'Last one used Slack data. It says "sounds good"'; Parrot's been shipping since March with prefix NEST- and bigger context than half of Microsoft's; Raven: 'Department of Parrot. Now a model lab.'
