Microsoft Blog·medium signal

Microsoft consolidated all Copilot experiences under new EVP Jacob Andreou reporting directly to Nadella, effectively sidelining Mustafa Suleyman — whom Nadella paid $650M to recruit from Google DeepMind. The reorganization unifies four pillars: Copilot experience, Copilot platform, Microsoft 365 apps, and AI models, spanning Copilot Tasks, Copilot Cowork, agentic Office capabilities, and Agent 365. Nadella simultaneously stated Microsoft is 'doubling down on our superintelligence mission' with plans to develop stronger in-house models.
