Microsoft announced a new operating business called Microsoft Frontier on Thursday. The unit will focus on delivering enterprise AI deployments using the company's existing AI tools. The project will receive a $2.5 billion investment from Microsoft along with 6,000 industry and engineering experts.
Services announced a $1 billion internal commitment for its own AI deployment venture two days earlier. OpenAI and Anthropic have launched joint ventures along similar lines that also involve outside capital from private equity firms. Microsoft's existing client base will give the new effort a significant head start.
The company has already deployed engineers to much of the Fortune 500. The announcement cites an early partnership with the London Stock Exchange Group, as well as Unilever, Land O'Lakes, and Accenture.
