OpenAI and Microsoft are experiencing escalating tensions in their AI partnership, with OpenAI seeking a restructured deal that would grant Microsoft approximately a 33% stake in a reshaped business unit in exchange for Microsoft relinquishing rights to future profits. The dispute also involves disagreements over revenue sharing and the definition of artificial general intelligence (AGI). OpenAI has considered filing antitrust complaints against Microsoft, accusing the company of anti-competitive behavior during their collaboration, which has spanned six years. Meanwhile, OpenAI is advancing its infrastructure and policy engagement efforts by planning to open its first dedicated office in Washington, D.C., aimed at influencing U.S. AI policy and regulatory frameworks. On the infrastructure front, OpenAI is collaborating with Oracle on the Stargate project, a $500 billion initiative to build cutting-edge AI data centers. This project, however, faces challenges including disagreements with SoftBank, a major investor. OpenAI has secured a $30 billion annual deal with Oracle for data center services, including the supply of two million AI chips, supporting its ambitious buildout plans. The Stargate data center in Abilene, Texas, is expected to be a 1.2 gigawatt facility, reflecting OpenAI's substantial investment in AI hardware and infrastructure. Additionally, OpenAI plans to use a $40 billion fundraising round to further develop data centers and new projects.
