Microsoft invests in and partners with OpenAI to support us building beneficial AGI

Microsoft is investing $1 billion in OpenAI to support us building artificial general intelligence (AGI) with widely distributed economic benefits. We're partnering to develop a hardware and software platform within Microsoft Azure which will scale to AGI. We'll jointly develop new Azure AI supercomputing technologies, and Microsoft will become our exclusive cloud provider-so we'll be working hard together to further extend Microsoft Azure's capabilities in large-scale AI systems.
