OpenAI and Microsoft are reportedly at a pivotal moment in their partnership due to tensions over control of intellectual property and contract terms. Sources indicate that OpenAI is contemplating accusations of Microsoft's anticompetitive behavior and even a federal review of their agreement. Central to this conflict is OpenAI's intention to acquire AI coding startup Windsurf, which Microsoft may seek to benefit from. OpenAI is trying to lessen its dependence on Microsoft while still needing the tech giant's endorsement for critical operational moves.
OpenAI executives have considered publicly accusing Microsoft of anticompetitive behavior throughout their partnership, signaling a potential inflection point in their collaboration.
The tension has risen as OpenAI attempts to loosen Microsoft's grip on its intellectual property while simultaneously relying on the tech giant for essential resources.
