OpenAI Plans to Slash Revenue Share to Microsoft After Restructuring

As OpenAI moves ahead with a corporate restructuring to appease its investors as well as regulators, it needs to get clearance from Microsoft, its biggest outside shareholder and business partner.

One part of OpenAI’s plan involves reducing the percentage of revenue it shares with Microsoft. In financial projections OpenAI shared with investors, that percentage would drop by at least half by the end of this decade. Microsoft, whose servers power OpenAI products, still hasn’t signed off on OpenAI’s desired changes, according to a person who spoke with a senior Microsoft executive involved in the negotiations.
