OpenAI to Save $97B Through 2030 Under Renegotiated Microsoft Deal, Report Says

A report reveals OpenAI will save $97 billion through 2030 after renegotiating its deal with Microsoft last October, cutting revenue shares while Microsoft retains a 27% stake worth $135 billion, IP access through 2032, and a $250 billion Azure commitment. This caps a turbulent week for Microsoft AI partnerships: May 1 Pentagon pacts granting access to Impact Level 6/7 networks used by 1.3 million personnel generating tens of millions of prompts; May 5 agreements with Google and xAI to share pre-deployment models with CAISI (40+ evaluations completed); May 8 collaboration with CAISI, UK AISI, and NIST on testing standards; and May 11 U.S. deletion of security test details from its website amid market dips (MSFT -0.7%).
