Microsoft is no longer the exclusive cloud provider for OpenAI's AI models. OpenAI has secured a major infrastructure deal with SoftBank, Oracle, and others. Microsoft now has "right of first refusal" on new OpenAI cloud computing needs but allows OpenAI to seek other providers if necessary. Microsoft will continue supporting OpenAI products and training with Azure. Despite this, key partnership elements remain intact, including access to OpenAI's IP and revenue-sharing arrangements through 2030.

OpenAI's unreleased "Five Levels of General AI Capabilities" paper complicates its partnership with Microsoft due to a contract clause on artificial general intelligence (AGI). If OpenAI declares AGI, Microsoft's access to future technologies would be limited, leading to potential renegotiations or termination of the $13 billion partnership. The paper's classification of AI stages might influence OpenAI's AGI declaration, which both sides perceive differently, affecting the negotiation dynamics and OpenAI's strategic leverage.

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is reportedly suing OpenAI, the research non-profit he helped found, claiming that the organization's partnership with Microsoft has deviated from its original mission. Musk argues that OpenAI's collaboration with Microsoft has transformed it into a "closed-source de facto subsidiary" that prioritizes maximizing profits for Microsoft instead of benefiting humanity. The lawsuit alleges that OpenAI's shift to a "capped-profit" structure breaches its initial agreement of being an open-source, non-profit company. Microsoft has invested significantly in OpenAI and has defended its ownership structure as serving the company's mission.
