AGI Clause Dies as OpenAI-Microsoft Deal Goes Non-Exclusive and Cloud-Flexible

Microsoft and OpenAI have dropped the contract’s AGI clause, ending the exclusive, perpetual revenue-sharing tied to AGI. OpenAI can now sell its products on any cloud provider, a move that could help it court more enterprise customers ahead of a possible public listing, while Microsoft’s revenue from outside agreements continues. The revenue-share will now run only through 2030 with a cap, signaling a broader, less exclusive partnership and OpenAI’s push toward multi-cloud growth.
