OpenAI has announced a significant change to its partnership with Microsoft, which has been in place since Microsoft's $1 billion investment in 2019. Under the new agreement, OpenAI will no longer be exclusively tied to Microsoft Azure and can now offer its products through multiple cloud providers. Microsoft will maintain its license for OpenAI's intellectual property and models until 2032, with Azure remaining the primary cloud partner. However, the license has become non-exclusive, allowing OpenAI to expand its reach. Additionally, while OpenAI will continue to share 20 percent of its revenue with Microsoft, this payment will now be capped and is guaranteed only until 2030. This change also means that the revenue share will not depend on OpenAI's technological advancements, marking a shift from the original partnership's stipulations regarding artificial general intelligence (AGI).
