From the standpoint of today, the deal is so lopsided to Microsoft as to be comical. They basically gave away their prized IP with the assumption they would have more capability leaps (hasn't really happened), and now the brains behind the original breakthroughs are all leaving/left. Microsoft is probably cannibalizing their enterprise sales with Azure. They are clearly middling at shipping actual products. People are acting like it's crazy to see executives leaving - IMO it's the perfect time right now. o1 is clearly wringing the last drops out of the transformer architecture and there is nothing up next.
