Microsoft is no longer OpenAI’s entirely exclusive cloud provider

No longer Microsoft was only one exclusive data provider of data center infrastructure for OpenAI for training and running all of its AI models.
Overlapping with the announcement of Stargate, OpenAI’s massive new AI infrastructure dealing with SoftBank, Oracle, and others. Microsoft also addressed and signed a new agreement with OpenAI that gives it “right of first refusal” for the new OpenAI cloud computing ability.
Microsoft gets the first choice over whether to host OpenAI’s AI workloads for the cloud. If Microsoft doesn’t meet its requirements, OpenAI can go to the rival cloud provider.
Microsoft stated in a blog post.
“OpenAI recently made a new, large Azure commitment that will continue to support all OpenAI products as well as training,” “To further support OpenAI, Microsoft has approved OpenAI’s ability to build additional capacity, primarily for research and training of models.”
OpenAI has condemned it as a lack of available computing for delaying its products and computing capacity has reportedly. It becomes a source of tension between the AI company and Microsoft. In June, Microsoft, under shareholder pressure, allowed OpenAI to ink a contract with Oracle for additional capacity.
In this blog post, Microsoft repeated“key elements” and its long-standing partnerships with OpenAI remain in place through 2030. That included access to the OpenAI’s IP, revenue-sharing arrangements, and other types of exclusivity on OpenAI’s API.
OpenAI doesn’t achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI) under the two companies’ agreed-upon definition before it. When OpenAI develops AI systems can generate at the latest $100 billion in profits.
OpenAI is said
“The OpenAI API is exclusive to Azure, runs on Azure and is also available through the Azure OpenAI Service,” the blog post reads. “This agreement means customers benefit from having access to leading models on Microsoft platforms and direct from OpenAI.”
