Overview

OpenAI and Microsoft’s partnership‑turned‑situationship just got even less committed. A clause about artificial general intelligence, which for years dictated the future of their deal, has officially been dropped.

Recent Changes

• Microsoft announced several big changes to its long‑standing OpenAI deal.
• Microsoft will remain OpenAI’s primary cloud partner, and OpenAI products will ship first on Azure, unless Microsoft cannot or chooses not to support the necessary capabilities.
• OpenAI can now serve all its products to customers across any cloud provider, allowing it to pursue its goals of courting enterprise customers.
