AI campus competition escalated: OpenAI captures millions of users at "wholesale prices", how will Microsoft (MSFT.US) and Google (GOOGL.US) break through?

Zhimedia Financial APP noticed that, according to purchase orders, OpenAI has sold over 700,000 licenses of ChatGPT to about 35 public universities for students and faculty to use. In contrast, Microsoft (MSFT.US), which typically bundles the Copilot assistant with existing software, has a slower rate of adoption of AI tools at these schools, with faculty usage often higher than that of students.
