OpenAI ends its exclusive partnership with Microsoft
Summary
OpenAI and Microsoft announced an amended partnership ending exclusivity, allowing OpenAI models to run on other clouds, including AWS Bedrock. Microsoft retains a license through 2032, but non-exclusivity enables OpenAI to distribute across major providers while maintaining a capped revenue share through 2030. The move follows a broader multi-cloud push and a separate Amazon deal to run OpenAI models on Bedrock, signaling a strategic shift toward cloud provider diversification.
