Good question. Looks like Microsoft bought a partner to help them make Azure more competitive with Google & Amazon, both on hardware scalability and quality of their AI offerings: > we’ll be working hard together to further extend Microsoft Azure’s capabilities > Instead, we intend to license some of our pre-AGI technologies, with Microsoft becoming our preferred partner for commercializing them. In the end, it's a win-win. If OpenAI remains partially open , it's still better for rest of the world too, better than nothing. But, as achow said, it did pivot.
