i doubt microsoft cares. they’re going to be competing in the space wherever openAI is hosted, might as well be making money from azure while doing it. Azure probably hosts many companies that compete with microsoft in some way.
Openai has an “at cost” azure deal with Microsoft. They don’t make any azure money from them.
This feels like a mix of “keep the bubble moving somehow” hype and a shot across the bow at Microsoft, who are in a nasty back and forth with Openai right now because openai wants to break its early deals with Microsoft to go fully for profit to get a large amount of funds from Softbank. Microsoft isn’t okay with that, as it would cost them exclusivity to Openais tech and various other things.
