At least from the article, it seems he wants to position Microsoft as someone who provides access to all models including non frontier models in order to democratize access. He sees OpenAI, Anthropic and Google as the AI giants who are trying to dictate the future.
I interpret "AI giant" not to mean who are the biggest USERS of AI, but rather, who is leading the direction of AI development / has the most leverage.
Not really. Microsoft is more of a proprietary software monopolist that has strangled the economy for the past few decades, and they don't want to lose what remains of their lucrative position.
CEO of a company that failed to become an AI giant says we can't let the companies that succeeded take their slice of the pie.
Isn’t Microsoft one of the AI giants trying to eat the economy?

Why do you think Microsoft is an AI giant? In my books, the AI Giants are: Alphabet, OpenAI, and Anthropic.
I wouldn't rate Meta, SpaceX, or Microsoft as AI giants, even though they have AI products.
Isn’t GitHub copilot pretty huge? I personally hate it and avoid it as the plague, but I see people using it

Copilot is based on OpenAI's models.
Meta at least is an AI giant just from its internal use.
Even if Alphabet didn't have Gemini, it would also be a giant from its internal use.

Same.
But with the callout that SpaceX (via xAI) is trying really hard to be a giant.

At Microsoft when people say something it somehow gets altered by an unknown entity. And all we see is this end result.
Nonsense. Everybody knows Cthulhu.
So why did they just hire all the AI2 folks?
This guy is just whinging he's behind.
