Microsoft's CEO, Satya Nadella, recently discussed the evolving yet strong partnership between Microsoft (MSFT, Financial) and OpenAI. He highlighted that OpenAI remains Microsoft’s largest infrastructure client, and the collaboration between the two companies is set to continue in various capacities.

The existing contract between Microsoft and OpenAI will last until 2030. However, a recent amendment allows OpenAI to lease computing power from other providers for AI model training. Despite these changes, Nadella emphasized the excitement and mutual benefit of utilizing OpenAI's technologies.

Nadella expressed a keen interest in diversifying the collaboration between Microsoft and OpenAI over the next few decades, reinforcing the commitment to their long-term relationship. This strategic partnership is pivotal for both companies as they work together on advancing AI technologies.
