Microsoft says OpenAI is now a competitor in AI and search
Microsoft’s relationship with OpenAI has officially become more complicated. Microsoft added the artificial intelligence startup to the list of competitors in the company’s latest annual report. It’s a roster that for years has included mega-cap peers Amazon, Apple, Google and Meta . Microsoft has a long-term partnership with OpenAI, serving as its exclusive cloud provider and using its AI models in products for commercial clients and consumers. Microsoft is the biggest investor in OpenAI, having poured a reported $13 billion into the company. But the new casting indicates they’re moving onto one another’s turf.
