Microsoft and OpenAI announced a major amendment to their partnership Monday, just as jury selection began in Elon Musk's lawsuit against the two companies. The change allows OpenAI to offer all of its products—including API-based services previously exclusive to Microsoft Azure—on any cloud provider, theoretically including Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud. The amendment comes amid a high-profile federal case in which Musk alleges that Microsoft helped OpenAI abandon its nonprofit mission. Both companies face potential penalties of billions of dollars if Musk prevails, adding urgency to the partnership shift. Key terms of the new deal include a non-exclusive license to OpenAI's intellectual property that extends through 2032, the elimination of Microsoft's revenue share, and a cap on OpenAI's payments to Microsoft, which will continue through 2030. The Redmond company remains OpenAI's primary cloud partner, and OpenAI products will still ship first on Azure unless Microsoft cannot or chooses not to support the required capabilities. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy noted on LinkedIn that OpenAI's models will be available on Amazon's Bedrock platform "in the coming weeks," with more details to follow at an AWS event in San Francisco. In a joint statement, the two firms said, "The rapid pace of innovation requires us to continue to evolve our partnership." Jassy added that the models would appear on Bedrock "in the coming weeks," signaling a swift rollout across multiple cloud platforms.
