Summary
Microsoft and OpenAI have revised their partnership, dropping the long-standing AGI (artificial general intelligence) clause that previously dictated the future of their deal. While Microsoft remains OpenAI's primary cloud partner and will get first access to OpenAI products on Azure, OpenAI can now serve its products to customers across any cloud provider, significantly reducing the exclusivity of their arrangement.
