Microsoft Extends OpenAI Partnership Through 2032 with 135 Billion Dollar Stake
Microsoft extends its partnership with OpenAI until 2032, holding a $135 billion stake (27%). The deal keeps Microsoft as OpenAI's exclusive IP and Azure API partner until AGI, with AGI verified by an expert panel. Microsoft’s IP rights last through 2032, excluding consumer hardware. OpenAI can partner with others and provide API access to US national security customers. OpenAI commits to $250B in Azure services, and Microsoft can pursue AGI independently.
