OpenAI is shifting its strategic partnerships, moving from heavy reliance on Microsoft to exploring alternatives like SoftBank and the Stargate Project. Currently, Microsoft is OpenAI’s main cloud provider, but with SoftBank’s aggressive AI investments, OpenAI is considering Stargate for its computing needs, potentially rivaling major players like Azure and Google Cloud. By 2030, OpenAI anticipates that 75% of its computing power will come from Stargate, allowing for greater flexibility and pricing control. Recent changes in Microsoft’s partnership have opened doors for OpenAI to consider other cloud providers, reflecting its goal to transition to a for-profit model while diversifying its infrastructure.
