Today, GPT-5 launches across our platforms, including Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot, GitHub Copilot, and Azure AI Foundry.

It's the most capable model yet from our partners at OpenAI, bringing powerful new advances in reasoning, coding, and chat, all trained on Azure.

It’s hard to believe it’s only been two and a half years since @sama joined us in Redmond to show the world GPT-4 for the first time in Bing, and it’s incredible to see how far we’ve come since that moment.

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. https://t.co/uWijdptnga

I just rebuilt #DynamicsCRM using #AI. Just kidding. (but I got your attention) What I did do is use some specific AI tools, such as #M365Copilot and the #PowerPlatform Plan designer and did build a basic minimal viable product #CRM system.
