"This is all about deepening our commitment to bringing the best infrastructure, model choice and applications to our customers, Nadella said on a video call with the other two executives, adding that it builds on the critical partnership Microsoft still has with OpenAI."
"Asked in September if OpenAI could do more with those new computing partnerships than it could with Microsoft, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told The Associated Press his company was severely limited for the value we can offer to people."
Microsoft is forming a cloud infrastructure partnership with Anthropic and Nvidia. Anthropic commits to buying $30 billion in Azure computing capacity. Nvidia will invest up to $10 billion in Anthropic, and Microsoft will invest up to $5 billion in Anthropic. The announcements were made by CEOs Dario Amodei, Satya Nadella and Jensen Huang just ahead of Microsoft’s Ignite developer conference. Microsoft had been the exclusive cloud provider for OpenAI until earlier this year, but OpenAI sought additional cloud capacity from Oracle, SoftBank and other partners. Microsoft holds roughly a 27% stake in the new for-profit OpenAI entity. Anthropic was founded in 2021 by former OpenAI leaders, and its Claude chatbot competes with ChatGPT.
