Good question, nobody


Apparently, Microsoft is investing $2.5B and 6,000 “industry and engineering experts” into this new company to work with their customers to design, innovate, deploy, and continuously improve AI systems at scale.


They are focusing on Intelligence + Trust. The new company’s president is Rodrigo Kede Lima (30 years of experience, led enterprise-wide transformations as a sales leader in the Americas and Asia)


I looked through their announcement post and the company site (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/frontier-company). It looks like standard Microsoft everything. Not sure how this differs


Take a look and let me know what I am missing.
