In a recent public speech, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella reiterated the close partnership between Microsoft and the artificial intelligence company OpenAI. Nadella mentioned that this partnership has undergone certain changes during their development processes but has always maintained a solid foundation. He pointed out that as OpenAI gradually shifts its focus from research to commercial applications, the cooperation model between both parties continues to evolve.

In the future, OpenAI may engage in more exchanges with other partners, but this will not affect its long-term collaborative relationship with Microsoft. Nadella noted that in 2023, Microsoft invested billions of dollars in OpenAI to support the further development of its technology. Microsoft's various products have fully integrated OpenAI's technologies, which not only enhances the intelligence level of the products but also provides Microsoft with opportunities for revenue sharing, especially when users utilize products like ChatGPT.

This deepened strategic cooperation has not only brought competitive advantages to Microsoft but also promoted the industry as a whole to move forward. With the rapid progress of AI technology, Microsoft and OpenAI’s cooperation will be applied in a wider range of fields, including enterprise services, cloud computing, and more innovative products and services. Nadella's remarks indicate that despite increasingly fierce market competition, the relationship between Microsoft and OpenAI remains stable and will continue to advance hand-in-hand in the future.

Through this speech, Nadella sent a clear signal to the outside world: no matter how the market changes in the future, Microsoft and OpenAI will continue to deepen their efforts in the AI field, explore more cooperation opportunities, and aim to provide users with better products and services.
