Microsoft and OpenAI revise deal

OpenAI and Microsoft have restructured their multi-billion dollar alliance, granting the AI startup greater independence to pursue new revenue streams.

The revised terms end Microsoft's exclusive cloud rights, immediately enabling OpenAI to offer its models on Amazon Web Services' Bedrock platform.

This strategic shift comes as OpenAI faces internal pressure to meet ambitious revenue targets ahead of a potential initial public offering.

The move is expected to intensify competition among major cloud providers as they race to integrate advanced generative AI capabilities into their enterprise software.
