微软和 OpenAI 调整合作关系，允许 OpenAI 跨云平台服务客户
Read, Watch or Listen
San Francisco — Microsoft and OpenAI on April 27 announced a revision to their partnership that allows OpenAI to serve customers across rival cloud platforms while keeping Microsoft Azure as OpenAI's primary cloud and preserving first-to-ship privileges unless Azure cannot support required capabilities; the joint statement highlighted changes to financial and commercial arrangements announced by both companies this week. The agreement follows years of integration since 2019, when Microsoft invested heavily and became a roughly 27-percent shareholder; under the new terms Microsoft will no longer share revenue from certain OpenAI products on its cloud, OpenAI's revenue-sharing obligations are capped through 2030, and Microsoft retains access to OpenAI intellectual property through 2032, steps that company statements say clarify obligations ahead of OpenAI's planned IPO.

OpenAI 在计划首次公开募股（IPO）之前，获得了更广泛的市场准入，可以进入竞争对手的云平台，并拥有更清晰的财务条款和收入分成框架，而云竞争对手和企业客户则获得了更多的选择和灵活性。
微软失去了对 OpenAI 技术的独家访问权，以及与 Azure 上 OpenAI 产品相关的潜在收入分成，两家公司在协调产品集成方面都面临日益增长的竞争压力和复杂性。
