OpenAI and Microsoft have reportedly agreed to cap total revenue-sharing payments between the two companies at $38 billion. <\/p>\n
The reported arrangement comes as both companies renegotiate parts of their long-running partnership, which has become one of the most influential alliances in the global artificial intelligence industry, News.Az<\/a> reports, citing Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n According to the report, the revised agreement could give OpenAI greater flexibility to expand partnerships with other major technology firms, including Amazon and Google.<\/p>\n The move may also strengthen OpenAI\u2019s position with investors as speculation grows about a potential future public offering. Reports suggest some executives believe an IPO could become possible as early as later this year.<\/p>\n Microsoft previously confirmed that revenue-sharing arrangements with OpenAI would continue through 2030 under the existing partnership structure, with payments remaining tied to agreed percentages but subject to an overall cap.<\/p>\n Microsoft has invested roughly $13 billion into OpenAI since 2019, helping accelerate the development of advanced AI systems while also strengthening demand for Microsoft\u2019s Azure cloud platform, which powers many OpenAI<\/a> services.<\/p>\n The partnership has played a major role in reshaping the global AI landscape, fueling competition among major technology companies racing to develop and commercialize generative artificial intelligence tools.<\/p>\n Neither OpenAI nor Microsoft immediately commented publicly on the latest report.<\/p>\n
