Microsoft and OpenAI announced revisions to their cooperation agreement to simplify their partnership. Microsoft's OpenAI license will be changed to non-exclusive, and Microsoft will no longer pay revenue share to OpenAI. Microsoft will remain OpenAI's main cloud service partner, and OpenAI's products will be released on the Azure platform first.
Microsoft will continue to have a license to use intellectual property related to OpenAI models and products until 2032.
OpenAI's revenue sharing arrangement with Microsoft will last until 2030.
As a significant shareholder, Microsoft will remain directly involved in OpenAI's growth.
