Microsoft expands pact with OpenAI
January 24, 2023
The continued union will also see Microsoft boost its investments in supercomputers that accelerate OpenAI’s research. Azure will remain OpenAI’s sole cloud provider for products, research and services. The exact size of the financial contribution isn’t known, but a Bloomberg source claims Microsoft is investing $10 billion over “multiple years.”
Microsoft first backed OpenAI in 2019, and returned in 2021. The New York Times notes it “quietly” invested an extra $2 billion since that initial round. The companies have grown closer since their collaboration began.
On top of the Azure service, Microsoft has launched OpenAI-powered features that include natural language programming and a DALL-E 2 graphic design tool. OpenAI uses Microsoft’s infrastructure to train its best-known systems, including DALL-E 2 and the popular ChatGPT bot. ChatGPT is coming to Azure soon.
