Invitation to comment launched by the CMA on the partnerships between Microsoft and Mistral AI, and Amazon and Anthropic, and Microsoft’s hiring of former employees and related arrangements with Inflection AI.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has today opened invitations to comment (ITCs) for interested third parties to give their views on whether the partnerships between Microsoft and Mistral AI, and Amazon and Anthropic, as well as Microsoft’s hiring of former employees and related arrangements with Inflection AI, fall within UK merger rules and the impact that these arrangements could have on competition in the UK.
The ITCs, which are the first part of the CMA’s information gathering process, come in advance of the launch of formal Phase 1 reviews. An ITC does not start the formal Phase 1 review, nor does it necessarily mean the CMA has jurisdiction.
