According to WSJ , the high-profile partnership between OpenAI and Microsoft, once hailed as one of the most successful collaborations in technology history, is on the brink of a climax.
Specifically, the source said deep disagreements over the future of AI, product control and computing resources are causing the two sides to directly confront each other, putting one of the most important strategic alliances in the technology industry in jeopardy.
OpenAI, the startup behind the ChatGPT chatbot, is eager to loosen Microsoft’s grip on its AI products and computing resources. Its ultimate goal is to become a profitable company and go public, a crucial step to raising more capital and expanding.
However, to make this happen, Microsoft's approval is key. This is also the crux of all the tension.
Negotiations between the two sides have been difficult, according to the source, and things have come to a head in recent weeks when OpenAI’s top executives discussed a “pivotal decision”: accusing Microsoft of unfair competition during the partnership.
The WSJ said OpenAI's move was aimed at seeking review from federal regulators for potential contract terms that violate antitrust laws, as well as a public campaign to put pressure on Microsoft.
However, taking such a step would certainly seriously threaten the six-year partnership between the two sides.
Microsoft and OpenAI began their partnership in 2019, when the software giant invested $1 billion in the startup. Under the current deal, Microsoft has exclusive rights to sell OpenAI’s software tools through its Azure cloud service and has priority access to the company’s technology.
Microsoft is also said to be OpenAI's sole computing provider, although it has allowed the startup to create its own data center project called Stargate in 2024.
