Foreign media: Microsoft says it is no longer OpenAI's exclusive cloud service provider
Odaily News Microsoft said on Tuesday that it will no longer be OpenAI's exclusive cloud service provider, but will still have the "right of first refusal" for OpenAI's new cloud service agreement.
When Microsoft invested $1 billion in OpenAI in 2019, it acquired the rights to be OpenAI’s exclusive cloud service provider, and since then, as Microsoft continues to fund the startup, the two companies have been working together to build data center supercomputers to train OpenAI’s models.
Microsoft said on Tuesday that it still retains the exclusive right to resell OpenAI models on its Azure cloud platform, as well as the right to reuse OpenAI's intellectual property in its own products, adding that the current agreement between the two companies will extend to 2030.
