OpenAI can roam across clouds as Microsoft and OpenAI renegotiate a friendlier deal
TL;DR
Microsoft and OpenAI renegotiated their long-standing partnership to allow OpenAI’s models to run on all cloud providers (including AWS), while Microsoft remains OpenAI’s primary cloud partner. The non-exclusive agreement extends through 2032, preserves a revenue share for Microsoft from OpenAI’s ChatGPT/API revenue, and removes the AGI clause that tied future access to OpenAI models, signaling a more finance-driven, less tightly coupled collaboration and a potential for OpenAI models to appear on rival cloud platforms.
