Microsoft Lists OpenAI as a Competitor for the First Time in SEC Filing
For the first time in its annual 10-K report, Microsoft listed OpenAI as a competitor, raising industry concerns about the potential changes in their partnership. Microsoft has a long-standing collaboration with OpenAI, investing $13 billion and providing exclusive cloud services. However, OpenAI's SearchGPT feature positions it as a potential competitor to Microsoft in the search domain. An ongoing U.S. antitrust investigation may impact their relationship. Microsoft's decision to relinquish its observer seat on OpenAI's board suggests possible changes in their partnership. However, experts point out that partners and competitors often coexist in the tech industry.
