Joint Statement from OpenAI and Microsoft

OpenAI and Microsoft issued a joint statement to clarify that recent announcements regarding new funding and partners, such as Amazon, do not alter the existing terms of their collaboration established since 2019. The partnership remains central, with Microsoft retaining its exclusive license and access to OpenAI's IP. The commercial and revenue share arrangement is unchanged, and any stateless API calls resulting from third-party collaborations, including Amazon's, will be hosted exclusively on Azure. Furthermore, OpenAI's first-party products, like Frontier, will remain on Azure. The contractual definition and process for achieving AGI are also unchanged, and the partnership allows OpenAI flexibility to pursue compute commitments elsewhere, such as the Stargate project.
