Microsoft (MSFT) and OpenAI’s partnership, once strong, is now strained due to disagreements over computing power and access to the startup’s models, The Wall Street Journal’s Deepa Seetharaman, Berber Jin, and Keach Hagey report. One area of tension is OpenAI’s development of models with humanlike intelligence, functionality OpenAI head Sam Altman has said his team can build soon, but that Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has downplayed. Additionally, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has also made it a priority to beef up sales and usage of ChatGPT rival Copilot, and last year hired a rival of Altman’s who launched a secret effort to build models for Microsoft that would reduce its dependence on OpenAI.
