"The revised pact comes amid a fast-moving AI landscape that already looks significantly different than it did in October, when the prior round of changes to the Microsoft-OpenAI relationship was announced."
"Microsoft now holds non-exclusive rights to OpenAI's IP (excluding research) through 2032, leaving OpenAI free to license to others."
"Microsoft continues to get 20% of OpenAI revenue until 2030, though that is now subject to a cap that the companies did not publicly disclose."
"The revised deal kills the AGI trigger - a clause that hinged Microsoft's IP rights on OpenAI declaring it had achieved AGI, which both companies found too vague."
OpenAI's revised deal allows it to sell its models through any cloud provider, enhancing its business opportunities. Microsoft retains a capped 20% revenue share until 2030 and holds non-exclusive IP rights through 2032. The controversial AGI clause has been removed, which previously tied Microsoft's rights to OpenAI's declaration of achieving AGI. This change reflects the evolving AI landscape and OpenAI's focus on maximizing revenue by offering services across various platforms.
