09:27 AM EDT, 04/27/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Microsoft (MSFT) and OpenAI said Monday that they have amended their agreement so that Microsoft will no longer pay a revenue share to OpenAI and its license will now be non-exclusive.

Microsoft will remain OpenAI's primary cloud partner, and its Azure will receive the first shipments of OpenAI products, unless Microsoft cannot and chooses not to support the necessary capabilities, the companies said.

Microsoft will continue to have a license to OpenAI intellectual property for products and models through 2032, and the revenue share payments will continue through 2030, the companies said.
