That means that, going forward, Microsoft gets first choice over whether to host OpenAI\u2019s AI workloads in the cloud \u2014 but if Microsoft can\u2019t meet its needs, OpenAI can go to a rival cloud provider.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOpenAI recently made a new, large Azure commitment that will continue to support all OpenAI products as well as training,\u201d Microsoft said in a <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.microsoft.com\/blog\/2025\/01\/21\/microsoft-and-openai-evolve-partnership-to-drive-the-next-phase-of-ai\/\">blog post<\/a>. \u201cTo further support OpenAI, Microsoft has <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roved OpenAI\u2019s ability to build additional capacity, primarily for research and training of models.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OpenAI has\u00a0blamed\u00a0a lack of available compute for delaying its products, and compute capacity has reportedly become a source of\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/17\/technology\/microsoft-openai-partnership-deal.html\">tension<\/a>\u00a0between the AI company and Microsoft, its close collaborator and major investor.
