The deal is also considered to be critical to OpenAI’s efforts and could modify and rule the future of a company that has been at the vanguard of tech groups, looking to build large language models, known to be a technology that has the power to disrupt global industries.
Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI, has also rebuilt artificial general intelligence systems that can surpass the abilities that humans. Yet, last week, OpenAI abandoned controversial plans that would have removed ultimate control of the group from its non-profit board.
The groups remain close collaborators. Microsoft has embedded OpenAI’s technology into its software products, all at the same time, while providing a significant amount of computing power that can train AI models.
A senior from Microsoft has also mentioned, “The friction comes partly due to style. OpenAI says to Microsoft, ‘give us money and compute and stay out of the way: be happy to be on the ride with us.’ So naturally this leads to tensions,” and that. “To be honest, that is a bad partner attitude, it shows arrogance,” as mentioned by the Financial Times.
The publication also posted a quote from a person familiar with the matter from OpenAI, “Microsoft still wants [this conversion] to succeed. It’s not like it’s all gone to hell, and it’s open warfare. There’s a tough negotiation, but we’re confident we’ll get it done.”.
Microsoft has declined to comment on the matter. OpenAI has also told investors that it will share a smaller fraction of revenue with its largest backer as it moves further with restructuring, reported The Information, last week.
It is also worth mentioning that in January, Microsoft changed some terms of the deal with OpenAI and entered a joint venture with Oracle and Japan’s SoftBank Group to build up to $500 billion of new AI data centres in the US.
