Microsoft and OpenAI amend partnership to allow OpenAI to serve all products across any cloud provider while Microsoft retains non-exclusive IP license through 2032

OpenAI can now serve all its products to customers across any cloud provider, while Microsoft remains OpenAI's primary cloud partner with products shipping first on Azure unless Microsoft cannot support necessary capabilities.

Microsoft's license to OpenAI IP for models and products is now non-exclusive and extends through 2032. Microsoft will no longer pay a revenue share to OpenAI, though OpenAI will continue revenue share payments to Microsoft through 2030 at the same percentage subject to a total cap.

Microsoft continues as a major shareholder in OpenAI and participates directly in the company's growth. Both companies will collaborate on scaling datacenter capacity, next-generation silicon, and AI applications including cybersecurity.
