iRacing, the sim racing platform based in Massachusetts, has partnered with Microsoft to explore and develop Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies.

The partnership will see the companies collaborate on AI foundation models, called Large Action Models (LAMs), which can power advanced functionality on the platform, including improvements to AI-based drivers, AI-based coaching, crew chiefs and other possibilities.

"We couldn't be more excited to work with Microsoft on new AI-based learning models which hopefully will lead to iRacers having even a better experience, not to mention improving their racecraft and performance," said iRacing president Tony Gardner. "Our goal is to leverage the realism and quality of our existing product, build upon our market-leading existing single-player opponent AI, and learn from the collaboration with Microsoft Research to create new and improved features that will benefit all iRacers."
