Microsoft and OpenAI have issued a joint statement clarifying that their partnership terms remain unchanged despite OpenAI announcing new funding and partnerships, including with Amazon. Key points: Microsoft retains its exclusive IP license, Azure remains the exclusive cloud provider for stateless OpenAI APIs (meaning any OpenAI API calls via Amazon or other third parties still run on Azure), the revenue share arrangement is unchanged, OpenAI's first-party products continue to be hosted on Azure, and the AGI contractual definition remains the same. The statement emphasizes the partnership was designed to allow both companies to pursue independent opportunities while continuing to collaborate.
