Joint Statement from OpenAI and Microsoft
OpenAI News自 2019 年以来， Microsoft 与 OpenAI 一直在推进负责任的人工智能研发，致力于让其成果更广泛可及。这段最初的研究合作已发展为科技领域影响深远的伙伴关系，建立在相互信任、深度技术整合与长期创新承诺之上。
随着围绕人工智能投资与合作的讨论增多，且 OpenAI 今天宣布了新的融资与合作伙伴 [https://openai.com/index/scaling-ai-for-everyone/]，我们希望把这些公告置于既有合作框架中加以理解。今天的任何声明都不会以任何方式改变此前我们在 2025 年 10 月 联合博客中已披露的 Microsoft 与 OpenAI 关系条款。
双方的伙伴关系仍然稳固且具有核心地位。 Microsoft 与 OpenAI 将继续在科研、工程与产品开发层面紧密协作，延续多年深度合作与共同成果。
知识产权关系保持不变。 Microsoft 对 OpenAI 的模型与产品拥有排他许可与访问权。像 OpenAI 与 Amazon 之间的合作这类安排，在我们的协议中早已被设想在内， Microsoft 对他们将共同构建的成果抱有期待。
商业与分成关系亦无变化。现行的收益分成安排保持不变，并一贯包含来自 OpenAI 与其他云服务提供商合作所产生的收益分成。
在云服务上， Azure 仍为无状态 OpenAI 接口的独家云提供商。 Microsoft 是用于访问 OpenAI 模型与知识产权的无状态 API 的独家云服务提供方。用户可通过 Microsoft 或直接向 OpenAI 购买这些 API。任何因 OpenAI 与第三方（包括 Amazon ）合作而产生、调用 OpenAI 模型的无状态 API，都将托管在 Azure 上。
OpenAI 的自营产品，包括 Frontier，将继续在 Azure 上托管。
关于 AGI 的定义与流程保持不变。合同中对 AGI 的定义以及判定其是否已实现的流程维持原状。
该伙伴关系支持 OpenAI 的扩展。随着 OpenAI 规模增长，它仍可有灵活性在其他地方投入额外算力，包括诸如 Stargate 之类的大规模基础设施计划。
这一合作在设计上既给予 Microsoft 与 OpenAI 各自独立追求新机遇的空间，同时保留继续协作的路径——两家公司正以合作与独立并行的方式前行。
我们将继续致力于这一伙伴关系与促成双方走到一起的共同使命：并肩打造强大的人工智能工具，推进负责任的发展，并确保人工智能惠及全球各地的人与组织。
Since 2019, Microsoft and OpenAI have worked together to advance artificial intelligence responsibly and make its benefits broadly accessible. What began as a research partnership has grown into one of the most consequential collaborations in technology—grounded in mutual trust, deep technical integration, and a long‑term commitment to innovation.
As conversations around AI investments and partnerships grow and as OpenAI announces new funding and new partners as they did today, we want to ensure these announcements are understood within the existing construct of our partnership. Nothing about today’s announcements in any way changes the terms of the Microsoft and OpenAI relationship that have been previously shared in our joint blog in October 2025.
The partnership remains strong and central. Microsoft and OpenAI continue to work closely across research, engineering, and product development, building on years of deep collaboration and shared success.
Our IP relationship continues unchanged. Microsoft maintains its exclusive license and access to intellectual property across OpenAI models and products. Collaborations like the partnership between OpenAI and Amazon were always contemplated under our agreements and Microsoft is excited to see what they build together.
Our commercial and revenue share relationship remains unchanged. The ongoing revenue share arrangement remains unchanged and has always included sharing revenue from partnerships between OpenAI and other cloud providers.
Azure remains the exclusive cloud provider of stateless OpenAI APIs. Microsoft is the exclusive cloud provider for stateless APIs that provide access to OpenAI’s models and IP. These APIs can be purchased from Microsoft or directly from OpenAI. Customers and developers benefit from Azure’s global infrastructure, security, and enterprise-grade capabilities at scale. Any stateless API calls to OpenAI models that result from a collaboration between OpenAI and any third party—including Amazon—would be hosted on Azure.
OpenAI’s first party products, including Frontier, will continue to be hosted on Azure.
AGI definition and processes are unchanged. The contractual definition of AGI and the process for determining if it has been achieved remains the same.
The partnership supports OpenAI's growth. As OpenAI scales, it continues to have flexibility to commit to additional compute elsewhere, including through large-scale infrastructure initiatives such as the Stargate project.
The partnership was designed to give Microsoft and OpenAI room to pursue new opportunities independently, while continuing to collaborate, which each company is doing, together and independently.
We remain committed to our partnership and to the shared mission that brought us together. We continue to work side‑by‑side to deliver powerful AI tools, advance responsible development, and ensure that AI benefits people and organizations everywhere.
