Similar incidents affected ChatGPT in 2025 and Baidu Netdisk.

Microsoft Prioritizes AI Compute for Copilot Over Azure, Limiting Growth to 39%

Microsoft CFO Amy Hood said in January that the company allocates AI compute first to its own products like Microsoft 365 Copilot and GitHub Copilot, then to long-term R&D, and finally to Azure customers. If all GPUs deployed in the first half had gone to Azure, its growth rate could have exceeded 40% instead of the actual 39%. Azure sales quotas were raised up to 30%. After GitHub outages, Microsoft used Amazon Web Services and explored Oracle infrastructure. Since February 2023, Microsoft has integrated generative AI into Office, Windows, and GitHub. GitHub Copilot faces competition from Cursor and Claude Code. CEO Satya Nadella reorganized to focus more on AI.
