Microsoft on Monday became one of the first hyperscalers to provide managed access to Grok, the AI model developed by billionaire Elon Musk's AI startup, xAI.

At the Build developer conference, it was revealed that xAI's Grok 3 and Grok 3 mini AI models are being added to Azure. Here's why Microsoft is ignoring Grok's sketchy history.

“Microsoft and xAI are thrilled to unveil the availability of Grok 3 into the Azure AI Foundry Models, marking a significant milestone in AI accessibility and innovation,” said Vaidyaraman Sambasivam, the partner Head of product for Azure AI, in an announcement blog post.
