OpenAI ends Microsoft’s exclusive access, clears path to deals with rivals Amazon, Google

Microsoft is losing exclusive access to OpenAI’s technology, clearing the way for the ChatGPT creator to sell its products across rival cloud platforms in a sweeping change to one of the artificial intelligence era’s most consequential alliances.

The reworked tie-up, announced jointly by the companies on Monday, retains Microsoft as OpenAI’s primary cloud partner with a license to the startup’s intellectual property through 2032.
