> Wouldn't this get the funding back?

The funding was Microsoft employing most of the team. They were laid off (or at least, moved onto different projects), apparently because they weren't working on AI.

With Python being the main language for AI, isn't like more important to be more performant? I kinda don't get Microsoft reasoning, maybe they're just tight in money

I don’t think Python is the main language of AI.

		Python is pretty big as glue in the AI ecosystem as far as I can tell. It also seems to be most agent's 'preferred' language to write code in, when you don't specify anything. (The latter is probably more to do with the preferences they give it in the re-inforcement learning phase than anything technical, though.)
