Microsoft
Microsoft Loses Exclusive Cloud Rights With OpenAI
The Microsoft-OpenAI relationship is shifting, with Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff noting at Davos that Microsoft's cloud provider status is ending, as OpenAI embarks on Stargate project with SoftBank and Oracle.
Details:
The partnership shows tension, with OpenAI citing compute limits for delays and launching competing products, while employees report friction in collaboration
Microsoft's hires and own LLM (MAI-1) suggest a move toward AI independence, with recent announcements excluding OpenAI
Personal dynamics, especially the reported friction between Altman and Suleyman, add complexity to the relationship as OpenAI grows
Benioff suggests Microsoft may ditch OpenAI, but the evolving partnership remains complex, impacting competitors like Salesforce and Anthropic.
