OpenAI Leaders Say Microsoft Isn’t Moving Fast Enough to Supply Servers

OpenAI and Microsoft soared to new heights by developing and sharing artificial intelligence, specialized servers and product revenue with each other. Microsoft’s cash has paid for nearly all of that work.

After marching in lockstep, their relationship is changing. Last week, after OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar raised $6.6 billion in capital, mostly from a slew of financial firms, they told some employees OpenAI would play a greater role in lining up data centers and AI chips to develop technology rather than relying solely on Microsoft, according to a person who heard the remarks.
