The partnership remains strong and central. Microsoft and OpenAI continue to work closely across research, engineering, and product development, building on years of deep collaboration and shared success.

Our IP relationship continues unchanged. Microsoft maintains its exclusive license and access to intellectual property across OpenAI models and products. Collaborations like the partnership between OpenAI and Amazon were always contemplated under our agreements and Microsoft is excited to see what they build together.

Our commercial and revenue share relationship remains unchanged. The ongoing revenue share arrangement remains unchanged and has always included sharing revenue from partnerships between OpenAI and other cloud providers.

Azure remains the exclusive cloud provider of stateless OpenAI APIs. Microsoft is the exclusive cloud provider for stateless APIs that provide access to OpenAI’s models and IP. These APIs can be purchased from Microsoft or directly from OpenAI. Customers and developers benefit from Azure’s global infrastructure, security, and enterprise-grade capabilities at scale. Any stateless API calls to OpenAI models that result from a collaboration between OpenAI and any third party—including Amazon—would be hosted on Azure.
