I'am a bit confused, is this built by OpenAI or Microsoft? Microsoft released the paper IntelliCode Compose: Code Generation Using Transformer [1] 4 days ago and there is no attribution to anyone from OpenAI in it.

Are those two entirely separate and yet exactly similar initiatives?

IntelliCode Compose is built around a multi-layer generative pretrained transformer model for code (GPT-C), which is avariant of the GPT-2

GPT-2 is built by OpenAI

I am aware of this, I am referring to the video, where Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI) is presenting the demo and saying "we have built", while Kevin Scott (CTO of MSFT) is saying that it's the first time he has seen that. So this is clearly marketed as OpenAI's work, not just saying that the model is based on their work.
