Amazon touts a ‘major expansion’ with OpenAI as Microsoft ties loosen
Amazon announced a 'major expansion' of its partnership with OpenAI, involving co-developing a new platform for AI agents, as OpenAI loosens its ties to Microsoft. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the collaboration with Amazon Web Services would enable AI agents to do computer-based work on people's behalf.
Amazon and OpenAI are expanding their partnership to co-develop a new platform for AI agents that can perform computer-based tasks. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced the collaboration via a prerecorded video message at an Amazon event in San Francisco. The partnership involves Amazon Web Services (AWS), Amazon's cloud computing division. OpenAI has been diversifying its cloud partners, including Amazon, Google, and Oracle, as it moves away from its exclusive reliance on Microsoft. OpenAI will continue to pay Microsoft a share of its revenue through 2030, but the rate will be capped. Altman emphasized that the partnership with AWS is crucial for providing the necessary infrastructure for AI systems to run reliably and securely.
