Microsoft is in deep negotiations with OpenAI, aiming to secure a long-term agreement that would ensure continued access to OpenAI's core technologies. Sources close to the discussions reveal that both parties are exploring new terms that would grant Microsoft the right to utilize OpenAI's latest models and innovations, even as OpenAI strives towards its audacious goal of developing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). The current arrangement stipulates that upon OpenAI achieving AGI status, it would mark a significant milestone, potentially limiting Microsoft's access to certain technologies. However, with frequent meetings between the negotiating teams, it is anticipated that a deal could be finalized within the coming weeks. Notably, earlier this month, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella addressed this matter at the Allen & Co. conference held in Sun Valley, Idaho.
