Microsoft, OpenAI alter AGI deal

Microsoft and OpenAI have significantly revised their long-standing agreement, notably removing a clause centered on artificial general intelligence (AGI). While Microsoft remains OpenAI's primary cloud partner, with its products launching first on Azure, OpenAI now has the flexibility to serve its offerings across any cloud provider. This adjustment allows OpenAI greater freedom to pursue enterprise clients and expand its reach independently. The partnership continues, but with redefined terms that grant OpenAI more autonomy in its cloud strategy and customer engagement.
