OpenAI adds AWS as partner, commenters say the Microsoft marriage is officially over
zephyr_z9 · x · 2026-09-04
Quoting Kevin Xu's "and AWS" post, zephyrz9 argues that with OpenAI having declared AGI and struck a deal with AWS, the exclusive marriage with Microsoft is officially over.
OpenAI's exclusive cloud arrangement with Microsoft has been the industry's most watched relationship; adding AWS signals a full diversification of OpenAI's compute and commercial ties, materially eroding Microsoft's exclusivity. Full terms remain under scrutiny.
