Microsoft announced Monday that it had expanded its collaboration with OpenAI, the startup behind ChatGPT and Dall-E. According to a blog post, this marks the start of the third phase of a multiyear, multibillion-dollar investment.

Microsoft announced plans to boost its funding in developing and deploying supercomputing platforms to support OpenAI’s research. Microsoft has stated that it will include OpenAI models in consumer and enterprise offerings.

In a separate blog post on Monday, OpenAI stated that, despite this investment, it would remain a capped-profit organization. The funding from Microsoft “will allow us to continue our independent research and produce AI that is increasingly secure, helpful, and powerful,” according to OpenAI.

The collaboration between Microsoft and OpenAI began in 2016 when OpenAI agreed to conduct its artificial intelligence research on Microsoft’s Azure cloud-computing infrastructure. Then, in 2019, Microsoft spent $1 billion on OpenAI to collaborate on developing new supercomputing technology.

Microsoft x OpenAI’s Agreement: 

• This deal follows their 2019 and 2021 expenditures. It deepens their already extensive partnership in AI supercomputing and research and makes it possible for both parties to market the following cutting-edge AI products independently.
• Scalable supercomputing: Microsoft will enhance its funding in creating and using specialized supercomputer systems to quicken OpenAI’s ground-breaking autonomous AI research. To assist customers in developing and deploying their AI applications on a global scale, the business will also continue to expand Azure’s industry-leading AI infrastructure.
• Become an Exclusive Cloud Provider: To power all OpenAI workloads, including research, products, and API services, Azure has been selected as OpenAI’s exclusive cloud provider.
• Improved AI Experience: Microsoft plans to integrate OpenAI’s models into its consumer and business offerings and develop new types of digital experiences that AI powers. One such service is Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service, which provides developers with AI-optimized infrastructure and tools and access to OpenAI models, all supported by Azure’s enterprise-grade reliability and scalability.

Microsoft and AI:

Since 2016, Microsoft has committed to transforming Azure into the world’s AI supercomputer, acting as the core of its mission to democratize AI as a platform. Microsoft and OpenAI pushed the boundaries of cloud supercomputing technology with their initial investment and collaboration, announcing their first top-5 supercomputer in 2020 and subsequently constructing multiple AI supercomputing systems on a vast scale. 

OpenAI has utilized this infrastructure for training its breakthrough models, which are now deployed in Azure to enable category-defining AI products such as GitHub Copilot, DALLE 2, and ChatGPT.

These breakthroughs have attracted people’s attention and established large-scale AI as a powerful, general-purpose technology platform that they believe will have a disruptive impact on the scale of the personal computer, the internet, mobile devices, and the cloud.

Microsoft and OpenAI’s shared commitment to developing reliable and safe AI systems and solutions underpins all their efforts. OpenAI’s pioneering research on AI Alignment and Microsoft’s Responsible AI Standard offers a forward-thinking framework for the safe deployment of their respective AI technologies and help drive the industry toward more responsible outcomes.
