The partnership between Microsoft and OpenAI hinges on Microsoft's access to advanced AI technologies, particularly the voice feature demonstrated in OpenAI's GPT-4o. Despite being a major investor, Microsoft was not fully informed about the feature prior to its announcement. This lack of communication raises questions about their agreement, which allows Microsoft certain access but also leaves expectations ambiguous. As they renegotiate their partnership, Microsoft seeks clarity and control over OpenAI's technology, especially given its substantial financial investment and the need to present a robust technological position to investors.
Microsoft found out about the demo, and pressured OpenAI executives to get access to the code so Microsoft could do its own announcement.
The agreement between the two companies gives Microsoft access to OpenAI's technology, but what OpenAI has to share - and when - is sometimes a gray area.
