The new terms replace Microsoft's indefinite exclusivity over OpenAI's IP and APIs with a non-exclusive license through 2032, allowing OpenAI to serve all its products across any cloud provider including AWS. In exchange, Microsoft stops paying revenue share to OpenAI while OpenAI continues paying Microsoft through 2030 (with a cap). Microsoft retains roughly 27% ownership in OpenAI's for-profit entity and remains its 'primary cloud partner.' The deal unblocks Amazon's $50B investment and the exclusive AWS hosting arrangement for OpenAI's Frontier agent tool, which had been in direct conflict with Microsoft's prior exclusive rights. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
